Just for your information: The Swiss sticker HAS to be glued immediately on the windshield. If caught having one but not stuck, there is an additional CHF 100.- in fine.
Beware also that in Italy a bright safety vest (yellow or organge) MUST be in the vehicle. The Italian police is very keen on the fine
Quite right, especially when compared with road tolls in France! I just wonder how much of the CHF 40 is spent on administration. It hardly seems worth the bother.
About sticking on to the windscreen, I am told that if you want to transfer the sticker to another car, you can't. The sticker is designed to disintegrate if you try. However, if you first stick it on to a piece if clear polythene and apply the polythene side on to the windscreen, it is removable. Of course, I don't know this from experience

The safey vest requirement for ALL occupants is becoming mandatory in some other EU countries. Soon, we'll all need them. I just picked up my new car in the UK and yellow vests were included with the safety equipment
