Federal guild warns against pickle coating

According to the Federal Guild Group for Metal, Electrical, Sanitary, Mechatronics and Vehicle Technology, samples taken in busy shopping center parking lots show that every tenth vehicle in Austria is traveling with an expired sticker.

Friedrich Nagl, Federal Vehicle Technology Guild, also points out that countries such as Italy, Hungary or Germany do not accept a grace period like in Austria, which can lead to penalties, license plate removals and even the confiscation of vehicles in the respective country.
