[DeTomaso] I'm Glad I Don't Live in Switzerland!

[boyd casey]

On a side note . Switzerland is right next door to Germaany where you can
jump on the Autobahn and in the the appropriate places you can drive as fast
as conditions permit. You can also go to the Nürburgring where you can run
laps for 15 euros per lap. So if you can't get your speed fix between these
two options than you have a problem. Many of the small country lanes in
Europe where made before they had automobiles and speeding creates a reall
saftey menace to everyone else on the road. It's like many of the members on
the list have said "don't race or speed on public roads" Besides a hefty
fine if you kill someone it's called criminally negligent homicide and you
can wind up doing 10 to 20 years in prison which is allot worse than a fine
of any amount.
