Debate picks up speed

Despite much criticism: where 150 km/h could soon apply

Have the FPÖ and ÖVP moved into the political fast lane with the planned increase in the speed limit, or is there a risk of driving at full throttle? A "Krone" report on the planned partial increase in the permitted speed limit to 150 km/h caused quite a stir. The plans are well received by FPÖ and ÖVP voters. But what experts are warning against and where the first test routes are to be.

The coalition talks between the FPÖ and ÖVP continued in parliament on Tuesday with the handbrake on. Blue and black are not yet in agreement on everything. There was no initial preliminary decision on Tuesday for the time being, but there were signals from both political camps that they are more confident of being able to come together again.
