Millionaire fails to keep his distance on the A1 motorway – that’s how high his fine is | The Aargau High Court has found a driver guilty of gross violation of traffic regulations. As the Swiss man is a high earner, the fine is correspondingly high: 108,500 Swiss francs.

The article says he followed a car on the overtaking lane, between 110-120 kph, with a distance between 8 and 12 m. That’s between 2-3 car lengths?
At that distance you can see the front car entirely and then some. Am I missing something or it isn’t too bad?
If this law would be controlled strictly, half of the countries drivers would need food stamps to survive…
Seriously – is safety distance not part of the training here?!
It’s part of the training … well I assume it still is. My days of getting the license are way back.
But as always a lot of people become maniacs when sitting in a car. How many times have I witnessed first hand that I or another car on the highway was keeping the right distance to the car in front on the left lane just for someone else suddenly swivel from the right lane over into the gap on the left lane. The best are those who drive close behind a truck forever with like 80km/h to then suddenly change into the fast lane in the tiniest gap.
Not expensive enough.
