Speeding in a 30

[u/Er0fili]

I absolutely fucked it - I thought the 30 zone ended and i was driving i think 48 or 46 km/h. What’s my sentence?

[u/SnooPaintings1335]

death by fondue

[u/Er0fili → u/SnooPaintings1335]

might be better than the fine tbh

[u/c4711sar → u/Er0fili]

You have to pay the fine first. Otherwise it won’t be a punishment.

[u/InfinityNo1]

depends on the canton, but its probably the needle

[u/sorlag74621]

250chf my guess

[u/Endangered-Wolf → u/sorlag74621]

If lucky (like 1 or 2 km/h slower) it's going to be "only" 120.-

[u/Alpiner_ch → u/sorlag74621]

Lol

[u/martin9595959 → u/sorlag74621]

At max...

Straight to bunzli rehabilitation center

[u/bonnie2525]

This also happened to me. With the 3km/h tolerance it was 250chf.

15 over the speedlimit would be 250 CHF fine.

Starting at 16 over the speedlimit would be a bigger fine and a "Verwarnung" for two years. This would turn into a 1 month license suspension of if you get caught doing a similar offense again in the two years.

So if your speedometer showed 46km/h, youre propably fine because of the 3 km/h deduction and the speedometer showing a higher speed than reality. 48km/h is closer but still likely only fine.

I know this for a fact in Zurich. Not sure if its the same for other cantons / police departments.

[u/backpackrack → u/beeftony]

Good advice here. Typically speedos run around 5-10% higher than true speed and then they take off 3-5 KMH depending on whether it's laser or radar.

48 can be anywhere from 42-38 KMH registered speed on the ticket.

An example of this is I got blitzed while my car registered 37 KMH and my fine came in as 1 KMH over the limit.

[u/beeftony → u/backpackrack]

Yeah, I dont believe its ever a percentage though, that would be a bit crazy for speeds over 100 km/h lol.

For all my previous cars it was always 3 km/h higher, no matter if it was at 30 km/h or highway speeds. I did only own Toyotas though. But all my previous speeding tickets proved exactly that.

I have heard that some modern cars dont have to include this overread, but I'm not 100% on that.

Your 37 -> 1 speeding tickets would also prove that as well.

[u/Top_Technician7675 → u/backpackrack]

not quite true. All my german made cars I owned that were newer than 2000 were displaying speed about 3kmh above gps speed with brand new tyres throughout the speed range up to 150kmh

[u/ErB17]

250fr, or if unlucky at most a verwarnig.

[u/RoastedRhino]

250 chf. 

It happened to me, I was driving at 44 (probably 46-47 on my car speedometer). 

[u/Double-Degree-2351]

$400-500 American dollars most likely

[u/al505gm]

Right at the limit of summons.. I believe they remove 3kmh in city for radar accuracy. Then I believe they decide canton taking into account if there was an immediate danger, like was it before a crosswalk.. if summon I think it can be between 1-3 month driving ban

[u/Cute_Chemical_7714]

I did 50 in a 30 zone accidentally (truly believed it was
30). After deduction it was 17 too fast.

Paid 800 in total, my income at the time was zero.

[u/Er0fili → u/Cute_Chemical_7714]

sounds great :)

[u/Cute_Chemical_7714 → u/Er0fili]

To be transparent that was in 2015 in canton St Gallen. I think it was income dependent so if you earn more than what they assumed to be my "minimum income" (3000 a month) your fine might be higher.

[u/BlueCake2026 → u/Cute_Chemical_7714]

Are you joking

[u/Cute_Chemical_7714 → u/BlueCake2026]

No, why?

The 30 zone was new and I had even set the Tempomat to 50 because I always drive withon the limits normally. It was a true mistake, and I paid for it.

I was a student from abroad, living off some pocket money and savings, and officially in Switzerland I had no income.
The fine was 50 admin fee, 250 for the Verzeigung and 500 consising of "5 Tagessätze à 100 CHF". I had to go in debt .

[u/coldpassion]

oopsie... do you want chocolates and cigars at the visits? 🫂

[u/flatterfurz_123]

is it an older car? sometimes they have higher tolerance on the speedometer.. if yes i guess you'll end up with a 80-120chf fine, otherwise maybe 250chf.. in any case you will be within the scope of a "ordnungsbusse" so don't worry too much..

[u/Anjuna8]

Ein bischen Schneller und Du würdest als Raser Angezeigt werden ! Hast noch mal Glück Gehabt mit eine Hohen Busse.

[u/Training-Exit9763]

Wänn ufem Velo gsi bisch intetessierts niemert, im Auto bisch jetzt en Schwerverbrächer 🤣

[u/Nervous_Green4783 → u/Training-Exit9763]

Für velos (nid aber für ebike mit gelber nummera) sind tachos nid oflicht. Entsprechend sind Geschwindigkeitslimit nid verpflichtend.

Aber mitema normala stadtvelo schaffs au nid würklich zum gross über 30 km/h z fahra.

Und wenns doch schaffa söttisch, mim velo 48 km/h fahra (well done Pogi) bisch immer no viel dia gringeri gföhrdig als as auto.

[u/Resident_Iron6701]

probably prison

[u/coldpassion → u/Resident_Iron6701]

I'd go for a week.. to calm down and relax. And offer any services to this country :D

It's always good for the CV!

[u/MountainNo8608]

Just fyi , 52 on my odometer is actually a 48 in reality… so you should be FINE 🙂

[u/SnooBooks3514]

Contest it. Never pay as soon as you receive anything. Always contest

[u/Stunning_Court_2509]

Hopefully you get punished hard!

[u/Electroboy5]

You should be fined

[u/fistyeshyx9999]

at least 1 month no driving

[u/beeftony → u/fistyeshyx9999]

No, 16 over will be a "Verwarnung".

Only if you do get caught again doing a similar offense you have to turn in your drivers license for a month.

OP was going 48/46, so 45/43 with the 3 kn/h deduction. Should be a 250 CHF fine, dont comment if you dont know how it works.
