The Austrian system is brilliant - the instructions are written in German.

Well, German is their language. What language are things written in in the UK? Speed signs in MPH, what's that if I'm used to KMH?

There are plenty of Vignette warning signs and reminders well before the Austrian border, where there is always a place to buy them.

I mean the signs at the border. I'm assuming the Austrians already know about the tolls.

However, unless you are looking for them, they can mean absolutely nothing to you when you cross into Austria.

Swiss vignette £25 - I'd be happy to pay £25 to drive in each EU country I visit, as long as I only paid £25 here, because that's all the Swiss pay, the same as foreigners.

But you just know we will never have a system where foreigners pay for something that our own could pay for, that would be like having a legal system that only persecuted the wrongdo-ers...

Then learn some German before you cross the border into Germany or Austria. Would you expect a German or Austrian to speak some English when they travel to the UK or would you speak to them in German?

It's called making an effort and being courteous when visiting another country.

Thankfully, most European countries don't agree with you and have multilingual signs at the borders to say what is required of you.

Even the Czechs explain the motorway passes properly at the border.
