'Legal changes have been drafted in response to the frequent road accidents involving trucks,' said Grozdan Karadzhov, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, after a meeting with non-governmental organisations focused on road safety, as reported by Dobrina Karambolova of BNR.
The government has planned stricter controls on heavy goods vehicles. In the event of truck overloading, everyone in the supply chain will be held responsible. Currently, drivers are almost solely responsible for overloading. Extra teams will patrol the roads where there is heavy freight traffic daily.
One of the most common violations found during checks on heavy goods vehicles is driving with someone else's electronic card inserted in the vehicle's tachograph. There are also cases where cards are not used at all. This suggests that driving time limits are often exceeded, which can lead to accidents, according to Karadzhov.
