first: it's not prooved as illegal, they only say it is. there has to be a court decision first by the highest court of switzerland.

second: to brennan: well, i think you live in the states. right?
i dont like this decision that gps with radar warning are "forbidden". but cant you see that there's a reason? why doing radar controls when everyone hits the breaks 100 meters in front of the radarstation and then pushing the engine to 200km/h??? well, this wouldnt improve security on the roads...

i am not that a patriot, but, i am proud to be citizien of the oldest democracy of the world.
so shut up brennan.

peace, your outh comrade ;)

I am somewhat disturbed by the nationalistic tones in some of the comments, but I am even more disturbed by the facts. This whole thing is not based on some new law, but by the adventurous interpretation of an old law by the Federal Agency for Streets and Traffic. Apparently they hate the thought of being deprived of their wonderful source of revenue, so they just introduced the most extensive interpretation of the law, sort of like saying: if you don't like it, sue me. It is more than a little doubtful that the Supreme Court of Switzerland will uphold their point of view. In the meantime I am indeed ashamed that English and French authorities have enough respect of their citizens to warn them of fixed radars whereas Switzerland "the home of the free" does not!
