Not sure how that could possibly work, as there's no concept of
endorsement or points on a Swiss licence.

Are you serious?

Yupp.

How on earth do they cope then, if they cannot record and deal with
repeated minor infringements?

Who says they don't record them? Licenses and car registrations are
all done by the police, independently in each canton, so it's quite
easy for them. Not sure about cross-canton issues though.

It seems crazy to have no way of imposing cumulative punishments
potentially leading to a ban.

I'm given to understand that persistant offenders may have their
licences removed, but there are no hard & fast rules about this, as
far as I know.
