On the way to the sea watch out for high fines abroad. Therefore, drivers have to pay attention, for example, to using directional lights in Austria. In Austria, drivers, in addition to directional lights for which they are not likely to be fined more than two thousand Euros, should not forget the reflective vests.
The use of directional lights in Austria is subject to a fine of EUR 2180 (almost 60 thousand crowns). The police give this highest penalty in case you cause a road accident or someone to endanger your life. Reflective jackets must be in the vehicle and not in the trunk. This is fine for example in Austria or Germany.
“When traveling to Italy, you must have a mandatory vest for everyone in the vehicle,” ÚAMK said on its website. “In Austria, the vest is compulsory only for drivers, but for others in the vehicle it is recommended. However, if they have to stop and leave the vehicle on the local road or motorway, it is obligatory to have a reflective vest for anyone who leaves the car. “Unlike the Czech Republic, the warning vest is in some countries subject to traffic regulations and not a vehicle prescription.
In Slovenia, drivers have to pay attention to a fine for failing to sign a motorway toll, which can reach up to 800 Euros (21,600 crowns). When paying a penalty for driving without a token mark within eight days, the amount of the fine is reduced by half. This is similar when paying a fine on the spot. But this is the only way to reduce the sanction, Vice said, with police attempts in Slovenia to try to cope with lower penalties as an attempt at corruption.
