Huge outrage after “near catastrophe’ in Austria: winter crash triggers debate about driving ban. Green Party transport spokesman Lambert Schönleitner at meinbezirk.at: “We cannot and must not rely on miracles,” Greens are now calling for a year-round driving ban for trucks.

The NEOS support the Greens' initiative: "We finally have to make progress on this issue – before something worse happens" Austria is now taking tough action against reckless drivers; new penalties will apply from March 2024.
