Petrol stations conflict in Taborstrasse: sued drivers outraged
Petrol stations conflict in Taborstrasse: sued drivers outraged
In Vienna, a petrol station on Taborstrasse ensures plenty of conversation. Drivers who only drive through there without refueling are faced with massive demands: they receive property lawsuits and have to pay up to 395 euros. Among other things, this was made public by a user on Reddit, while numerous Google reviews report similar experiences. Many advise you to use the petrol station if you do not plan to tackle a tank process.
The "Tac-Carwash" petrol station, which is known, among other things, by its appearance in the music video for the song "Greetings" by RAF Camora, has recently dealt with unexpected challenges. The operators argue that they are legally forced to act because their premises are often used as an abbreviation by drivers, especially construction sites in the area have been active for months. Such evasive maneuvers have severely affected the operation of the petrol station.
background of the lawsuits
An employee of the gas station said that due to the construction sites on Taborstraße and Nordbahnstrasse, many drivers visited the petrol station to avoid the diversion. "We found that our site is repeatedly abused, which sometimes led to dangerous situations. Our loyal customers could not reach us because more and more vehicles were simply rushed," said the employee. Despite multiple notices, many drivers do not seem to adhere to the specifications and thus ignore the ban on entry.
A review on site showed that there were actually only two signs to comply with the rules. However, the petrol station emphasizes that for reasons of liability and for the security of your customers and employees, you are forced to act against these violations. According to the company, the responsibility is not only due to you, but also with the responsible authorities who have not set up proper detour for the drivers.
legal situation and adequate claims
The legal steps that the operators of the petrol station have initiated are used to protect their ownership. Such complaints are common if someone enters land without permission. However, a legal expert of the ÖAMTC expressed that the amount of the amounts required can be considered excessive. According to him, 100 euros instead of 395 euros would be to be regarded as a reasonable sum, which typically covers the legal fees and expenses for the license plate finding.
affected people are advised to offer a so -called pretorical omission comparison in order to avoid a judicial discussion. In such cases, lower amounts are often accepted than the sums originally required. This pragmatics shows that there are also opportunities to find peaceful solutions instead of being faced with shocking claims.
For the drivers concerned, it remains to be seen how the situation develops and whether the petrol station operators may rethink their approach due to increasing public pressure. In view of the previous feedback and the legal aspects, it could result in a negotiation between the two parties that clarifies the conflict on the use of the petrol station area.
