New Traffic Laws - Rettungsgasse

[morgenhund]

If you drive in Austria you should be aware of a new law effective 1 January 2012 requiring drivers on 2-, 3- and 4-lane highways to make a clear path (Rettungsgasse) for emergency vehicles when a traffic jam forms. Note, you have to make the Rettungsgasse whenever there is a jam, not only when emergency vehicles are trying to get through and even if you know that the jam is not caused by an emergency.Further information can be found on the ÖAMTC website at: http://www.oeamtc.at/?id=2500,1372745,,&hppos=9

No worries for me then riding a Motorbike getting out of the way is standard...
