Driving Schools in Швајцарска

Mountain Road Priority — On narrow mountain roads, the ascending vehicle has priority. If one vehicle must reverse, the descending vehicle reverses to the nearest passing place. PostBus (yellow) always has absolute priority.

Rechtsvortritt (Priority from Right) — At unmarked intersections, the vehicle coming from the right has priority. This is the default rule throughout Switzerland and is heavily tested in the theory exam.

PostBus Priority — Yellow PostBuses with a three-tone horn have absolute priority on mountain roads. When you hear the horn, you must stop and yield, even if you have the right of way.

Motorway Vignette — A CHF 40/year vignette is required for all motorways and expressways. E-vignette available since August 2023. Driving without one incurs a CHF 200 fine plus the vignette cost.

Stick'Air / Environmental Zones — Geneva requires a Stick'Air environmental sticker during high-pollution periods. Other cities may follow. Check local cantonal regulations before driving in city centres.

Winter Tyres — Winter tyres are NOT legally mandatory in Switzerland, but driving with unsuitable tyres in winter conditions can lead to liability in accidents and fines for obstructing traffic. Strongly recommended October–April.
