After the move, a lower Austrian forgot to report the digital vignette to the new license plate. It was punished that the Kremser had to pay despite the proof of his move. The problem is big.
Reker The address and the electricity, remove the postal order and new insurance companies – there are plenty of things to consider when moving. You immediately think of many, some later – and only a few if it’s too late. That’s how Peter G. did. The 59-year-old moved from Purkersdorf to Krems.
Inexplicable
Because he moved to another district in 2023, he also had to register his car again. What was forgotten: the digital vignette remained registered on the old license plate. Moments later, the Neo-Kremser already fluttered into the house through the ASFINAG post. A replacement stol of 120 euros was required.
G. did not want to pay the invoice at that time. “I had legally bought the vignette and was able to prove that the car was correctly and registrated,” he says. So he took a lawyer. Recently the bitter knowledge of the administrative court in St. Pölten: G. has to pay!
“A small note would be enough”
“This is rip -off,” he is irritated. “The Asfinag could write that everything can be submitted within a week in the case of a relocation. That would be customer-friendly and not equate me with someone who is deliberately on the road without a vignette, ”adds the 59-year-old. The fact that even 18 euros “expenditures” for the subsequent right of existence were also due to the things did not make things better for him.
“Keep us in the Tabic regulations”
But as division manager Stefan Zangerle emphasizes, ASFINAG acts strictly according to the toll regulations of politics: “This only distinguishes whether someone has a vignette or not. We have no insight into whether the customers have just forgotten a livelihood, “said Zangerle. The tolling regulations have at least recently changed that the GS situation only needs to be paid once, even if you have been caught several times.
Income of 48 million euros
Detail on the edge: Asfinag registers more than 400,000 Vignettend -violations per year. 48 million euros are taken in this way. “With more than 28 million vignettes, a small number,” they emphasize. Moreover, last year 1967 corrections were made by a license plate. “But this also includes the corrections where customers reported before the trip, so no replacement stol has been made,” says Asfinag. This is also a very small number for more than 4.3 million annual vignettes.
