Deputy Minister Anton Ginev said that reducing the number of accidents and their consequences is a priority. The effectiveness of road safety policy depends on the behavior of road users, and therefore it is necessary to constantly improve the quality of the training system paying particular attention to young drivers. He added that in recent years a major reform in the training and examinations for drivers was made. The organization and control in this area has been improved, as this will result in upgrading skills, discipline and responsibility of drivers on the road, said Deputy Minister Anton Ginev.
For the first quarter of this year the supervisory bodies of the Executive Agency "Automobile Administration" inspected over 74,000 vehicles and issued over 4,700 tickets.
