Regarding speeding in Switzerland, it's generally a no-go. You can do it if you know when and where, and if you've made recon drives to make sure no cameras (mo-fos move them around all the time).
Swiss autobahns don't even think about it, but other roads are doable. The problem is the country is quite small so when you're in an A or B road, villages are quite close together, so even if you find nice and safe stretches of road it's only very few Km before you hit the next village.
That's why I go to Schwarzwald to have fun  |
What do you mean by A and B roads? I don't think that is terminology we use in North America. Sorry for my ignorance!

Also... when you rent for say two or three weeks... your daily rental fee will be quite low as compared to renting a car for say a week. By a lot! So even IF you only need a car for a short time... I always rent the car for three weeks... and then return the car early. Normally you have to keep the car for three or four days minimum, then each day after that is only a few euros until the end of the rental contract.
Switzerland is nice to visit... but I always prefer to stay/sleep in Italy or France or Austria for the night. The Swiss are crazy about catching & fining speeders. Last week I saw that a guy from Munich drove 200 kph in a 120 kph tunnel.... then afterwards drove 280 in a 120 autobahn area... the Swiss TOOK his car and gave him 30 months in prison!! (Well this guy was too extreme case). IF the Swiss Polizei catch you speeding more than +40kph... they can TAKE your car, for good! And the fines are rediculous. Even speeding a few kph(less than +5 kph) will cost you 140 euros in most cases.
The speed limit is 120 on the Swiss Autobahns and 80kph in most autobahn tunnels. The speed limit is constantly changing up/down when you go hru a tunnel. And on the back roads... the max speed limit is only 80 kph.

Wow! Sounds like they really are crazy with speeding over there. I would be scared that I'm speeding without even knowing if I'm not always paying attention to the posted speed limits!!!
