I know a few of you travel in Austria but I have been checked 3 times in last 2 years for the motorway vignette, every car and lorry were checked leaving Austria on the Innsbruck Munich motorway and earlier leaving Slovenia.
In Slovenia a vignette is also needed on their motorways.
I use the Hull Rotterdam ferry and this year every driver was breathalysed in Rotterdam.
Do not Fern pass into Austria on a weekend 4 hours to Seefeld and for a great drive use the Wurtzen pass into Slovenia used to be main route until toll tunnel.

Interesting regarding Vignette

I have just come back from a three week trip taking in France, Germany, Austria, Italyand Switzerland.
I purchased Vignettes for Austria and Switzerland but was never aware of any checks although I did leave Austria via the Grossglockner.

I cant help thinking our government should think about introducing a vignette system for foreign cars using our motorways.

Car looks good by the way.
