Șoferii trebuie să fie atenți: un gest făcut din mașină poate costa 1.000 de euro

In Austria, throwing waste out of car windows can lead to hefty fines, especially in Vienna where penalties can reach up to 1,000 euros. Authorities advise drivers to keep trash inside their vehicles until they reach designated disposal areas. The Austrian law prohibits even organic waste from being discarded on roads or sidewalks. The ÖAMTC warns that intentionally littering can result in significant fines, and similar regulations apply across other Austrian regions. Littering poses safety risks, potentially causing accidents, and can lead to civil liability. Additionally, throwing lit cigarette butts can result in severe consequences, including criminal charges if they cause fires or injuries.
