In Switzerland, it is best to take the highway as much as possible! Try to avoid shortcuts and non-mainstream mountain roads, as there are too many sharp turns. Therefore, the issue of whether or not to buy a highway toll is not a matter of choice. There are checkpoints at the Swiss border, and the police will stop you and take you to the toll station to purchase the toll. Only on weekends when the checkpoints are not working, you don't need to buy, and no one will check.

Hello fellow car owners, I wonder if any of you have encountered being charged by the car dealership? (Main reason: The other party was fully responsible for the accident, and they had full coverage insurance while we only had basic insurance. When we returned the car, the dealership said the other party would compensate us. Six months later, we received a notification saying that they were investigating whether there were any damages to the car that were not caused by a third party, and then they charged over 10,000 yuan to our credit card. How should we handle this?) ? Switzerland Q&A
