Friedensreich Hundertwasser December 15, , Vienna, Austria - February 19, , liner Queen Elizabeth 2, Pacific Ocean was an Austrian architect and artist, who created and designed many very unusual buildings around the world.

A conference of eminent international traffic security experts in Graz testified that the white reflecting signs on black ground not only surpass the requirements of visibility but are safer than black signs on white reflecting plates because the latter distract the attention from more vulnerable non-reflecting road users like pedestrians and cyclists and because of other reasons.

After the protest by Hundertwasser in press conferences, bus and fair demonstrations, public opinion, borne up by a majority in opinion polls, TV polls, the media, automobile clubs, taxi associations, a Salzburg licence plate committee and hundreds of thousands of petitions backed the regional governments of Austria to insist on reinstating the law to maintain the black traditional Austrian licence plates.

While measures to produce the white number plates were accelerated to create a fait accompli, a majority of the members of Parliament prepared a motion for an amendment of this unpopular and unnecessary licence plate law. The Minister of Transport and his Socialist Party feared this democratic parliamentarian act and threatened to leave the coalition and blocked the vote.

A living nation is like a human being.
