The Swiss-French border where I live is quite easy, provided you follow the proper border crossing protocol for entering Switzerland:

1. Slow down as you approach the border
2. The guards will not look at you, but they see you! Keep going slowly.
3. Slow to a near stop, but do not actually stop (this annoys them a lot, I've seen them yelling at people for stopping)
4. Wait for it... Wait for it...
5. One of the guards will make a small gesture with one of his hands. This means 'go'.
6. Go! Don't hesitate! Speed up just a little, cross the border, and then proceed at normal speed

Works like a charm. I've never been stopped. As I have smuggled a lot of meat across that border, this is a very good thing. (Meat is better, and cheaper, in France. Food in general, actually. The Swiss food stores are just not as inspiring as the French ones.)
