French millionaire denied Swiss citizenship over speeding offence

[fighthorse]

totally agree. There‍ is no reason for it if you don't like Switzerland and their laws, stay away⁠ and find somewhere else.

My grand mother was once stopped and fined on a Swiss highway for insufficient speed.‌ Don’t know if she was barred from Swiss nationality from then as she never applied‍ for it.

This is fair and should be applied worldwide. Repeated offenders should be permanently barred from driving.

There are enough trains there. Just stop driving and‍ take the trains if you are not able to do it.

This I know has also happened in the⁠ Netherlands. In a way it makes sense that there is a minimum speed for motorways.⁤ If everyone is going 100 and 1 person is going 50 then its waiting for⁣ an accident to happen.

Yes, but in Switzerland, the law is pretty clear how fast you must⁠ able to drive in order to use the highway. It is 80 km/h in general⁤ and 100 km/h on the left lane if there are three or more lanes in⁣ the same direction.

Then comes the general article regarding that you must not⁢ without reasons drive so slow that you obstruct the flow of traffic.

I personally︀ would say that fines for too slow are rare in Switzerland, apart from the highway︁ cases.

There has once even been a protest of the Lega dei Ticinesi leading to︂ a 30 km traffic jam and a prison sentence:

Fines for obstructing the traffic flow are much more common in the US where the laws︇ are per state and most often not very clear.
