That should keep me amused for a bit while I'm waiting for the car to get MOT'd

I need to go back and do more of the B500.

It's a bit naff. All the best bits are the side roads that run in parallel to it!

The speed controls, police, closed sections for bikes on weekends, traffic and lack of corners on the B500 itself all let it down compared to the spectacular roads around it.

The parts I’ve done were ok - not much of what you describe. The most frustrating thing I found were the all too frequent villages and reduced speed limits.

Far better roads than the B500.

Edit: Minus 6 kmh off their speed? The ******* only took 2 off me when I got banned at 101 (down from 103) in an arrow straight 3km long 80 limit. If I had -6 I would have been below the threshold.

Harsh.

What do you get for doing about double the limit in the UK?

No idea. Still harsh.

Edit:

Apparently it's a % of your salary and 6 points.

So lets say you earn the UK average, about 27k I believe, it's £778 and 6 points for doing 90 in a 50.

It's means assessed here too if you live here, but they do stick it to foreigners with fixed on the spot fines as they can't assess your income.

He got a month's income (4000 CHF) as his fine at the Swiss minimum wage.

I go quick in the corners and enjoy the view on the straights, or do a sighting run of the pass first

Fireskull · 17 Oct 2018 at 15:22

Yeah 150% weekly wage and 6 points OR you could get a temporary ban also.

The_Abyss · 17 Oct 2018 at 15:29

Never seen any speed police in Switzerland. I'm extra glad of that now.

They are very rare in the passes themselves, but between passes and in tunnels they often have them.

The_Abyss · 17 Oct 2018 at 15:39

That's ok - I only use first gear in the tunnels

£3000 fine, might seem harsh but speeding is speeding.
