Hello everybody today we are talking about driving in Switzerland. Driving here is amazing. Except for one thing Swiss speeding cameras. These speeding cameras are called blitzes and they are literally everywhere. Like around every corner everywhere. Before moving to Switzerland I considered myself a fairly decent driver. I generally kept the speed limit. And I'd never gotten a ticket for anything Well actually once I got a ticket for running a red light. It was early morning and I had not drunk any coffee. I'm not even sure that I was really awake. It was well deserved. But I'd never gotten anything speeding-related. Not even a warning. Then after living in Switzerland For just 9 months I've gotten 2 speeding tickets and another just came in the mail. In my defense when I moved to Switzerland I did get a new car. 1.6 l inline 4 cylinder. 0 to 60 9.9 seconds. Of course with a Van like that you're gonna get speeding tickets but exactly how fast was I going. Ticket number 1. I don't know what came over me but I guess I just want to let her hair down and see what she could really do. Just let her go a little bit. Sure enough, a Blitzer got me. Going 2.5 miles an hour over the speed limit. That's right 2.5 miles an hour over the speed limit and I got a ticket. But then to make it even worse the swiss blitzer people subtract 3 km off of your total speed to make up for discrepancies in their equipment. So I got a ticket in the mail for going point 62 mph over the speed limit. Ticket number 2 I got in my Van going uphill with a Canoe on my Roof. I was like man I've got a power-up this Hill because I've got a Canoe on my roof. My Van is really powerful but sometimes it struggles on the hills. And I was focusing on powering up this Hill and they blitzer got me. 5.6 mph over the speed limit I mean that is a little bit faster. Ticket number 3 I have it in my hand But I haven't opened it. And I'm not going to open it until the end of the video. Because once I open this ticket I'm not gonna want to record anymore I'm going to be done. So if it isn't clear by now I don't love blitzer's and I Don't really like the way they're used either. But this is Switzerland and I am not Swiss and I am living in somebody else's country. So I do need to be respectful of their laws and how they choose to handle speeders. So I don't mean to be rude disrespectful to Switzerland or anything like that but on the other hand, I do think people deserve a little bit of a warning. Fortunately, when I moved to Switzerland my wife sat me down had the Blitzer talk. But others are not so fortunate I was talking to one American couple in they told me. Their 1st week of driving in Switzerland it they got $700 in tickets and didn't realize it until they came in the mail weeks later. And that's the problem in Switzerland the blitzer' Are generally pretty well Hidden and they are generally a Gray color that doesn't stand out. And that's kind of the idea that you can't see them. But if you didn't realize That there were speeding cameras you could be driving around thinking everything Is good and be getting tickets the whole time. Now they do Flash but people like me who come from places without speeding cameras may not know what to look out for. In fact, the 1st time I got a ticket I didn't know until my wife who is sitting right next to me Was like you just got a ticket that was a speeding camera. I was like I just thought I got Papyracee. And this is a common thing that foreigners coming into Switzerland don't understand how strict the speed limit is and that if you speed at all you will get caught. One great example of this is that in 2016 and there was a speeding camera put up on 1 of the major highways leading From Switzerland to Italy. This is where a lot of people go back-and-forth. In 6 month. This speeding camera gave out 68000 tickets. Now that is roughly one ticket every 4 minutes for 6 months straight. This one speeding Camera alone mates witchland 8 million dollars in that 6 month period. And I don't know for sure which direction the's camera was facing whether it was facing towards the traffic coming from Italy are going to Italy. But I'm going to guess that it was the traffic coming from Italy. I mean it was deathly the traffic coming from Italy. This video has been kind of I heart video for me to make As I've said I don't really like blitzer's and I'm kind of pull towards Being kind of annoyed about it and just ranting about it. hg
