Just don't get caught speeding in Switzerland ... 30Kmh over can see you in prison and fines are linked to salary.
They used to offer purgatory transport for those banned, permitting them to ride a moped for the duration of the ban, but no longer.
And they use a lot of average speed checks ... and worth mentioning that you must purchase a vignette at the first petrol station when using motorways ... or pay a CHF200 fine plus the CHF40 cost of the vignette !

I'm not aware of the average speed checks - though there are a lot of speed cameras. On the motorway approx 8km/h above the speed limit is usually OK, up to 15 over the limit is a simple fine. Beyond that things can get a bit hairy (including confiscation of the vehicle).They used to offer purgatory transport for those banned, permitting them to ride a moped for the duration of the ban, but no longer.

Average speed on the beautiful mountain roads and passes probably about 30 mph.
Absolutely, no chance of a speeding fine.
How did I do it, we toured in a 100 BHP 2 1/2 ton motorhome.
Chris, that intake manifold was made by Speed Force Racing in San Diego & features a 70mm tb from a 928. It’ll be interesting to see how it works. This engine is very different in spec to a. Cup engine. For a start it’s a dry-sumped 2.7 litre with Mahle pistons & Carrillo rods running a Jon Milledge Engineering cam, Ferrea valves, machined 2.5 cylinder head for the 104mm bore, a Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2 turbo ( 0.83 a/r hot side) coil on plug CDI ignition & Emtron KV8 ECU, twin Bosch 044’s pumping to ID1300X injectors, sequential ignition & injection & massively upgraded cooling systems for the engine, transmision ( Guard Transmissions 50/80 LSD), power steering & intercooling.
The car runs Elephant Racing spherical / rose-jointed suspension, billet aluminium front control arms & billet hubs, KW Cubsport 2-way coilovers, Big Black brakes, Tarrett ARB’s & Porsche 993 hollow-spoke & Fuchs 18” forged wheels.

For the record it’s closed deck running Darton MID ( modular integrated deck) sleeves. It’s nearing completion. The headers & exhaust system like the intake, cylinder head, fuel system & intercooler are from Speed Force Racing. The headers & upper exhaust system are Zirtec ceramic coated.
