Hitradio Ö3 warned of wrong-way drivers 390 times last year, 71 of them in Carinthia, which means an increase of 58 percent compared to 2021, when only 45 warnings were necessary. But there were also wrong-way drivers on the road every timeß “Often there is a message saying we are looking for the wrong-way driver, but can’t find anyone because he has either left again or it was a matter of a misinterpretation,” explains Hans-Peter Mailänder, the deputy head of the National Traffic Department of the Police.
