Hello and Happy New Year!
A friend thinks he may have been caught speeding on the motorway as he saw a flash, but he's not sure if it was him or not. He hasn't received a speeding fine through the post yet, but that might be because of Christmas post. Does anyone know if there's a website you can go to, to check if your registration plate is clean?
Also, what are the standard penalties for speeding in Switzerland?
Thanks! You will help someone sleep better :)

Not sure if there is an online check or how long it takes by post, but here is an overview of the fines: https://www.ch.ch/en/driving-over-speed-limit/

Thanks, Marcus, for the overview of fine amounts. I'm still hoping someone can help me find out if there's a website for checking pending fines.
All the best,
Michelle

I am 99% there is no website for checking pending fines. Your friend must contact Services des automobiles et de la navigation (or the equivalent authority in another Canton) to ask whether he was fined, if he is sooo concerned about it.

Thanks. I'll pass that info on
Hi Michelle,
It can take a few months for these fines to materialise. It was at least 3, maybe as long as 6 months. They are quite helpful, if you call them..
Good luck!

Hi Michelle
The only way to check before receiving the fine in the post is to go to the Police Cantonale office. You take a ticket and see a member of staff at one of the "caisse". After giving your registration number they can even show you the photo taken. I went once to double check a fine was genuine (it was!) They are quick, efficient & friendly.
