Carnival and traffic: safety tips for costumed drivers!

carnival combines joy and celebrations, but there is no freedom of fools in road traffic. More and more people who want to celebrate disguised have to be aware of traffic safety. The President of the ARBÖ in Lower Austria, Franz Pfeiffer, explained that driving with costumed clothing is generally allowed, but some important aspects must be observed. In this way, complex costumes can limit the view, hearing and mobility at the wheel. Particularly large masks or clown shoes are a risk and can lead to a fine of 60 euros when driving, as adac.de reported.

The focus is also particularly on dealing with alcohol during the foolish period. If you sit with 0.5 per thousand or more behind the wheel, you have to expect considerable punishments: a fine of at least 500 euros, two points in Flensburg and one month of driving ban. At 1.1 per thousand and more, it becomes serious: Here not only threatens an administrative offense, but a criminal offense that can result in high fines and a license withdrawal. The same alcohol limit values also apply to e-scooters as to drivers, which means that security must not be neglected here either, such as "https://www.noen.at/niederoesterreich/chronik-gericht/arboe-im-fasching-kostuemiert-mit-demauto-unterwegs- 46349199"> noen.at point out.

positive tips for the carnival time

In order to prevent accidents and punishments, it is advisable to switch to transport such as buses or taxis when celebrating, especially when it comes to alcohol consumption. Pfeiffer emphasizes that the car should stay better at home if you take part in a celebration in which a lot of alcohol is consumed. Responsible behavior is in the foreground to avoid tragic consequences. This year all celebrations should adhere to the traffic rules and make sure that their costumes do not affect the ability to travel.
