The problem with speed demons must now be tackled at its roots in Austria. Those who don’t have a car can no longer drive, is the motto of environment minister Leonore Gewessler. Whether this is a sensible measure or one that only deters and is not feasible is a matter of debate – including in our community. We found some good arguments for both sides.
Of course, it is still being examined whether it is possible to confiscate a vehicle, but according to the ministry, improvements must be made. The decisive factor was a case of a mother who lost her daughter in a speeding ticket. But in the majority of accident-free cases, many consider it excessive to seize the vehicle for two weeks.
Previous measures were also sufficient
Our user honey bee thinks, for example, that taking people’s driver’s licenses was enough. others like wageko emphasize that cars are then deliberately raced that are not worth much more and are fundamentally more harmful to the environment than more modern vehicles.
Finally, the law is ready to be discussed with us
So what is still up for debate here is already legislation in other countries, as are users Astronomer stressed out. He thinks this could also be used when drivers are driving under the influence of alcohol. In Italy and Switzerland it is already possible for speeders to seize cars from their owners.
What do you think of this possible new law? Do you have a speed problem in your area? Do you think the deterrent of losing your car could be a permanent solution? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
