Cleaning prohibited in Austria! Penalties up to 6000 Euro

Sometimes we don't know how lucky we are! Although we complain that it is strictly forbidden in Germany to tint the front side windows or the windshield. We are also annoyed that red flashing indicators are not allowed on a vehicle registered for the first time in Germany (except for vehicles with EZ in front of the 1. January 1970). This example shows that there are even more ridiculous laws in other countries. A vehicle owner from Vienna was fined because the factory nameplate (model name) his car was missing. A vehicle to "clean" is common in this country and the omission of the exact model designation, motorization, etc. can even be ordered from the manufacturer in Germany.

Cleaning prohibited in Austria

In Austria, however, this meant that the owner had to pay a fine of €60 or alternatively go to jail for 12 hours. In Austria it says: "The car must have the manufacturer's name or brand and the chassis number (vehicle engine, engine number, etc.) fully visible and legible at all times.“ Cleaning has been a trend for years that is not only booming in the tuning sector. In this country, vehicles can easily be marked ex works with the addition "Model lettering cancellation " be ordered. Austria justifies the law with the fact that anything that makes a car more recognizable can be important in the prosecution of penalties and therefore the type designation MUST be present.
