Penalties abroad

Expensive vacation fun on foreign roads

One or two cost traps lurk on the way to a vacation, sometimes even the removal of the car or imprisonment! The "Krone" shows where local drivers should watch out. And beware: fines from abroad can also be collected in Austria.

Getting to your vacation destination abroad particularly quickly can be expensive. By international standards, Austria is a driver's paradise. If you exceed the speed limit by 20 km/h in this country, you can sometimes get away with a 30 euro fine, in Sweden, for example, it is 215 euros and in France it is still 135 euros.
