This was an expensive speeding fine

on the other hand what else do you do with a repeat offender who happens to be a millionaire? Do they have a points system in Switzerland?

He was driving through what was described as a "village" - perhaps there was an element of public safety influencing the magisterial decision?

Now that would be embarrasing

Driving through or simply being in the Alps is a truly magical experience, I used to go skiing every year when I was single and thoroughly enjoyed the drive getting over the mountain passes in Switzerland. I recall one time doing it in my BMW 320i without snow chains, getting up the mountain was a quite challenge so say the least simply to keep the car rolling, the girlfriend I had with me hated it and was in tears due to the height of the sheer drops and all of the hairpin bends. I daren't tell her that the decent would be far more dangerous

I list going to the Alps in winter as one of those things you simply have to do before you die.

The Swiss love to keep their country clean and tidy. That`s why they build their chemical and dye plants over here

They have quite a few companys in "The Filthy Fifty"
