This is insane.  People are actually defending the exorbitant fine imposed on a swiss motorist for speeding.  This just goes to show that speeding tickets are not about safety, they are about "revenue generation."

Check out the comments on this story.

I always thought of Switzerland, with it system of Canton and history of banking secrecy, as a place of relative freedom.  With the recent news of a ban on the building of minarets and now this story on speeding, the sheen of Switzerland has faded.
