I didn't mention it, as I was hoping it wouldn't materialise, but I've got a speeding ticket. Luckily the only time I think I was flashed.
Unluckily, it was for 136kph in a 80kph, the one point in Switzerland I sped (to overtake!). I'm expecting a hefty fine to follow...

I didn't realise there was a system in place for Swiss Police to get UK car details. I'm not sure how they normally deal with non-residents, but as a Swiss resident if I got caught at that speed I'd be expecting a 3-6 month ban and an income-based fine of several thousand CHF, plus a court hearing. Given you don't have a Swiss salary I'm not sure how they'll deal with it but you're way outside the normal 'fixed penalty' tolerance there.
Good luck!

I had the same but in Luxembourg. 130 in an 80..145 euro fine. Took 5 months to get it and I was hoping I'd got away with it.Unluckily, it was for 136kph in a 80kph, the one point in Switzerland I sped (to overtake!). I'm expecting a hefty fine to follow...
I fear Switzerland will be a bit more!
The ultimate irony was the missus sent me a text saying 'drive safely' which arrived at the perfect time to obscure the waze camera warning...

Balls to that. I just wouldn't go back.
Can you still do that?? I do recall reading something recently where DVLA will enforce fines from abroad...
Humm, I have wondered. But honestly, whilst a lot of money, I done a bad thing, and it'd play on my conscience. I'd like to go back, this time sticking to the speed limits! Can you still do that?? I do recall reading something recently where DVLA will enforce fines from abroad...
I'm already planning 2018's trip, I'd like to have a co-pilot or some other cars, but it won't stop me!
