#9 Autopia: Road Rules & Alpine Views

Ready to chase those iconic Swiss mountain views — maybe even the legendary James Bond Goldfinger route? In this episode, we take you from nervous first drives to full Alpine confidence. Switzerland’s roads are stunning, but the rules? Let’s just say they take some getting used to.

Tiffany and Nisha share their early shockers: surprise speed-camera “paparazzi,” mysterious road signs (yes, the white circle with the black line does mean something), the infamous no-right-on-red rule, and the steep fines that make you instantly behave.

Then it’s time to plan your dream drive: checking roadworks and tunnel delays (thanks TCS!), navigating Alpine passes, and exploring the breathtaking Grand Tour of Switzerland, a 1,600-km route showcasing the country’s most cinematic landscapes.

Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
