Austria vs Hungary: Driving Rules Compared

Hungary’s drink-driving limit is not low, it is zero — cross the border from Austria, where 0.05 is legal, and any measurable alcohol becomes an offence. Motorway speed stays identical at 130 km/h in both countries, and both drive on the right, so this single number is what separates them. Rural roads diverge too: Austria allows 100 km/h outside towns, Hungary only 90.
