Switzerland, the same country whimsical enough to bring us yodeling and cuckoo clocks, takes a decidedly draconian approach when it comes to speeding. Speeding that would get you a stern talking to and a big ticket in the U.S. will get you three days in jail, a 1,000 Swiss franc fine (about $850 USD), and a fine of 20% to 35% of your net monthly salary.

To watch over the potentially speeding populace, the Swiss police have added a raft of Audi S4s with laser radar to their arsenals. The black Audis with the tinted windows can detect your speed while they are driving behind you, in the opposing direction, or parked by the side of the road. If you're going to take a spin in the canton, save your wild abandon for the chocolate, restrain yourselves on the roads.

Ever speed?

 

Brought to you by the same country who made motor racing illegal because of a crash in France!

These guys give a whole new meaning to "fun police"

 

It's one of those urban legends, at least it's not in Switzerland...
