There is an epidemic going around in Austria these days which can be described as “put your car seats a life vest on”. As since May 2005 it is compulsory in Austria to wear signal vests on highways and country roads, it is recommended to keep them in the passenger compartment of your car. But many people don’t want to keep them below the front seats or elsewhere, no, they properly put them their seats on to tell everybody, “Hey, I’m so good, see how I do have signal vests in my car!”

I don’t give much about the look of my own car, I admit that I don’t keep it well, but since so many people do care so much about the appearance of their cars I can’t really understand why they don’t see a disturbance in their “radioactively” yellow car seats.
