Relax and enjoy your journey in Bulgaria with Drive Safe
Driving in Bulgaria is challenging because the Bulgarian road network is largely under-developed. There are few sections of limited-access divided highway. Some roads are in poor repair and full of potholes. Rockslides and landslides may be encountered on roads in mountainous areas.
Travel conditions in Bulgaria deteriorate during the winter as roads become icy and potholes proliferate.
Aggressive driving habits, the lack of safe infrastructure, and a mixture of older cars on the country’s highways contribute to a high fatality rate for road accidents. Heavy traffic conditions have led to a significant increase in ‘road-rage’ incidents. Finally horse-drawn carts, motorcycles and scooters can sometimes be found on major roads and travel at night without lights. You need to be very alert when driving at night.
