Wrong driver's license and inadmissible license plates discovered on the highway!

On Sunday evening, December 15, 2024, at around 8.30 p.m., the motorway police on the S10 in the municipal area of Neumarkt in the Mühlkreis (Freistadt district, Upper Austria) checked a 32-year-old Slovak. This control revealed a explosive situation: the man not only had a fake driver's license, but the vehicle was also not permitted, and the mounted license plates were not even part of this car. The police secured both the driver's license and the license plates and temporarily arrested all three occupants, including a 39-year-old Slovak and a 25-year-old Hungary. According to the interrogations, the two Slovaks were reported at the open foot, while the Hungarian was brought to the police retention center Wels due to an existing arrest warrant, 5min.at.

The controversy around the license plates stop, especially since the Slovakian license plates have received a new design since January 1, 2023. In the current version, you are white with black script and, in addition to the Slovak coat of arms, contain an individual code that consists of letters and numbers. The first letter has not indicated a specific district since the 2023 reform, which is a significant change in the previous system. This redesign is intended to make potential abuse of the license plates more difficult and ensure the identification of vehicles, as KFZ.NET knows. The intact license plates are not only crucial for traffic safety, but also for compliance with legal provisions, which makes the recent events all the more revealing.
