 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article was nominated within a week of creation. It is sufficiently long and well-sourced. All hook facts are supported by direct inline citations. I see no copyright violation; all sources are in Serbo-Croatian and there are plenty of them. The subject died over 60 years ago, so the image qualifies as fair use. The article might benefit from division into sections, however. Another hook could be about him possibly being the first person to drive a car in Croatia. Of those suggested by you, I prefer the original hook. ALT2 would also be good if you could make the connection between Budicki being an automotive pioneer as well as the first person to receive a speeding ticket.
