Yes, aware of the Swiss laws on speed. Never even attempted going over on my previous trip and we did notice the difference in price going from Italy to Switzerland. A sandwich was 18-20 bucks. And yes, we already have the vignettes. Ordered them online to save time. Thanks again.

A year or two ago my wife and I got back from Geneva (with our family car). We approached the Swiss-French border. That's a 60 km/h road. I noticed a 40 km/h sign right in front of the border, so went off the throttle and quietly rolled down. A few months later we got post from Switzerland: a fine of 40 Swiss francs for doing 41 km/h in a 40 km/h zone (correction of only a few kilometer). Our kind slowing down from 60 km/h had not been performed fast enough - did they expect us to slam the brakes ?! And so the Swiss cops took the effort to prepare a fine, find out with international authorities to whom the license plate belonged and subsequently send the fine abroad. We paid the fine. Nowhere the letter said: "We hope you enjoyed your stay in Switzerland"...
