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.

Agreed. It's why I prefaced with with 'apparently'. I was with him, but didn't buy the 5km/h. The guy has an affinity for a heavy wrist, and I was quite far back as I don't like overtaking needlessly.
He alleges they said it was 5 above, they weren't particularly happy. It turned a bit heated.
Judging by previous scenarios, pretty sure he was way over a ton (mph).The 6000 however, was a legit fine (or confiscation). Took him a while to pay it off. Whether what he said was true or not, we still argue about it from time to time.
The amount though really hit home.

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.
