The side effect of something like that would appear to be a lot more illegal dumping.Such behavior just isn't tolerated here. It just isn't the Swiss way. When they do find a dumped bag of trash, it is rumored that they'll go through it like the folks on CSI to figure out who/where the source is. I don't know what the fines are for illegal dumping, but many other fines will knock your socks off, so I suspect they'd be severe. Simple speeding -- say the equivalent of 15 MPH over the speed limit on a highway -- has fines that are similar to those in the US. For excessive speeding -- say the equivalent of 50 MPH through a school zone, or 40 MPH over the speed limit on a highway -- fines are assessed as a percentage of your annual income and have been known to be as high as 10 or 15%. |
