Car owners go less often to the check. The National Council decided this on Monday. The 'Pickerl' is a sticker on the car. It shows: The car is safe.
The first check was after 3 years. Now it is after 4 years. The new times are 4-2-2-1. After 8 years the car needs a test every year.
The Greens vote against the new rules. They worry about safety. Many cars have errors after 3 years. Other politicians like the change.
They say: People save time and money. For cars from Ukraine things change too. These cars need a registration in Austria soon. The owners pay taxes then.
