Beware of stamp sellers posing as a transport authority. They are not interested in independence.

A recent report titled "Index of European Highway Rest Areas" claims to provide insights into highway services but is authored by a toll sticker seller, Czechvignette. This company, criticized for charging excessive fees, uses Google Maps ratings as its data source, which lacks representativeness. The report highlights the best and worst rest areas, but its credibility is undermined by the author's commercial interests. The Czech Trade Inspection warns against purchasing toll stickers from such intermediaries, advocating for official channels instead. The article critiques media outlets that promote this study without acknowledging its dubious origins, raising concerns about the integrity of information shared with the public.
