In this case with Switzerland, they gave me plenty of time to respond - 30 days from the day they mailed the letter, which was Aug. 21. But when I've gotten these in Germany, the notice came in the mail weeks
after the fine due date. There was no way to know if paying the fine a month late would be considered paid or short due to undisclosed late fees. Still haven't heard anything about those old ones.
Oh, I got another one in Eisenach, DE, for parking in a very poorly marked handicapped spot. I really had no idea. The ticket on my windshield said it was a warning, but listed the fine as €55 and gave bank wiring instructions. My local friend said a warning means you don't have to pay it. But Budget Rental did hit me with a processing fee for it a few weeks later. Still haven't gotten anything in the mail though.
