Had a mate caught on camera and pulled over. Apparently he was doing 5km/h over the limit. He was fined 6,000. Any more than that and his bike would have been confiscated and imprisonment.

Sounds like something else was going on there. The maximum fine allowed by law in Switzerland for 5km/h over the speed limit is 40 CHF on minor roads, 20CHF on a motorway. This rises to about 400 CHF for 20kmh over the limit from memory, after that there is a sliding scale of bans and means tested fines.

I seem to remember reading about a Swiss guy being fined over €2m for a relatively minor offence. Probably made him more careful in the future.
EDIT: It was €200,000CHF
