“The 100 speed limit only has the potential to annoy all drivers”

“Please look at the current economic figures, but spare drivers and hard-working commuters your backward-looking, snail-paced fantasies,” comments state party chairman LH deputy Udo Landbauer on the latest, ideologically influenced 100 km/h recommendation on motorways from Fiscal Council President Christoph Badelt.

Austria’s CO2 emissions are in any case negligible compared to the rest of the world, and the potential for savings bears no relation to the annoyance and slowdown of all hard-working commuters, dutiful families and busy entrepreneurs. “A speed of 100 would be a step into the mobile Stone Age. 100 km/h has zero impact on the global climate, but a lot of potential to get on the last nerve of our compatriots. “Stop all the harassment of drivers,” demands Landbauer.

Because only the FPÖ is the only driver’s party and by far the most reliable passenger for all commuters and fellow countrymen. “Motorways are a safe infrastructure, our cars are becoming increasingly modern, safer and less polluting. Let’s talk about speeds of 150 km/h on suitable motorway sections, Mr. Badelt,” concludes Landbauer.
