BTCPrague is great, but getting a vignette so I can legally drive to there, is a nightmare. To get a concrete exemption from my (exempt by law because electric) car, I have to either

- upload the application, along with several proof documents, to a "databox" (a Czech thing unbeknownst to anybody else), or

- email the stuff to them, but with an electronic signature that only a Czech can produce, because it depends on their ID docs, or

- snail-mail it to Czechia, but with an officially verified signature (i.e. I have to make an appointment with my local citizen services office and pay them to verify that it's actually me, and rubber-stamp it)

Or, just pay €30.- for ONE DAY

Fuck this, that bureaucracy is insane, even worse than Germany. And I thought we were bad.

Afaik, 1 day is 200 CZK (about 9 EUR), 10 days 270 CZK (about 11 EUR). Not a bad deal no? Did it last year, pretty easy online booking.

Thanks, I mistook the exchange rate for the Croatian one indeed. So it's not that bad, but the fact that BEVs are charged full price and not even the discounted one for PHVs, sucks. And the virtual impossibility to get an exemption as a foreigner, is just chicanery.

You're such a German, Volker.

Break the rules man, the Czechs don't follow them. Just carry a few hundred crowns or Euros to pay the "fine".

They have automated scanners at the roads, so you're basically guaranteed to be caught. And "up to" 20.000 Crowns is too much for an experiment TBH.

But I'm also too much of a German, guilty of that 🙂‍↕️

Yeah that's a pretty hefty fine.

Sounds like a scam 😆
