Switzerland has a great system to pay highways. You just buy a 40 CHF sticker every year and that’s it!
Great, isn’t it? No toll on the highways, just one “standard” payment by the end of January every year.
That’s it?
Not at all!
There are two details which make this sticker (the so-called “Vignette”) a prime example of Swissinity!
1) You have to use absolutely one sticker per car. Therefore, of course, you cannot transfer your sticker from one car to another, in case you own two cars.
To be sure that no one could ever think of cheating, the sticker is made of various parts with very weak connections to each other. In this way, once attached, the sticker is unremovable without completely tearing it apart!
2) As a consequence of 1) above, at the beginning of the year, when you have to remove the old sticker and “install” the new one, you would be glad to have a terminator to take out the used “Vignette”.
Otherwise you would need, at least, the following set of tools: a small razor blade or a knife, eventually your sharpest nails, possibly some chemical spray to remove the hardest glue of the world. And, last but not least: a lot of patience and self-control!
Easy, but complicate, or… complicate, but easy?
You can judge by yourself. But remember: this is Switzerland! Things which might be simple and normal in any other country sometimes become “Swissinities” here!
Real Swiss 
That’s true!! But, there is a secret way to do relatively pain-less, I learnt last year. I could tell you, but I’ll have to kill you…. 😝

Please tell me! Or tell me at least the address of the Swiss specialised school where they teach how to remove the shining highway Vignette!

You really make it appear so easy with your presentation however I to find this topic to be really one thing that I believe I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely extensive for me. I am having a look forward on your subsequent publish, I will try to get the dangle of it!
