Létavértes Border Crossing Station

I was guided by the GPS, trying to cross the border from Hungary to Romania at this border. Little before 6 am, heading towards my moms birth place, a small village from Romania, her last wish before she passed away, so we went to her funeral. Everywhere was dark, no illuminated sign letting us know we are actually at the border. I stooped because of a .. road closed sign.. beside a completely dark little house Then looking about 200 metres away, I could see a little house illuminated, and I start driving around when a bunch of Hungarian border patrols start running outside from another dark place ( I’m assuming they were asleep) and the lights of my car might wake them up... idk They tried to give me a fine, $5000 Hungarian currency, I refused and I asked to speak with a supervisor. It’s inadmissible to be at the border, and didn’t see any signs showing you are there, everywhere dark ( except the Romanian side, congratulation to the Romanian border patrols, they were very polite and great customer service ) . The Hungarian border patrol excuse was that we were suppose to know, they’re schedule it’s only from 6 am. There was no signs of a schedule, somewhere nearby.. or something to tell us .. it’s a border .. good by Hungary, welcome Romania or clearly showing to travellers from other countries. Myself traveling from Canada , it was like we are in dark ages. They dropped the fine, without seeing the supervisor, we crossed without any trouble .

Crossing the border took me about 5 minutes, and I got a free alcohol test by the hungarian police officer. I have never experienced such untrustworthy and wornout device in my life. First I thought they want to scan my face. Unexpectedly officiers seemed not to be capable to speak english, but some important words like "document" and "alcohol".

As always, the border police is abusing it's powers. Four cars 30 min because they need to chat on the phone...

Nice place

Without queue or any other obvious reason they kept our russian car for more than 1 hour although for any other car any procedure didn't take more than 5 minutes. It was long enough so that any vignette shop in Romania would close and we couldn't buy it. Come on guys :( There were no super queues, they asked our Russian car to park, they took our documents and we waited more than an hour for not understanding what. The vignette is not for sale, and shops with them in the nearest settlements close at 19:00. Until that moment, they kept us on the border. Necruto = (
