Slovenia Driving Tips

If you are ever driving in a country that is not your own, it is a good idea to have some knowledge of the rules and regulations of that country, as well as driving trends. Slovenia is no exception,

When driving in Slovenia, you are expected to have a warning triangle, first aid kit and spare bulbs with you. If your vehicle comes from the United Kingdom, you will also need a GB plate and headlight converters. It is also advised that you have a torch, reflective vest and a fire extinguisher with you.

The drink driving limit in Slovenia is 50mg/100ml, which is less than in the United Kingdom so be aware of this.

Speed limits differ between cars and towing cars. For both cars and towing cars, the speed limit in urban areas is 50 kilometres per hour. On an open road, it is 100 kilometres per hour for cars and 80 kilometres per hour for towing cars. On motorways, the speed limit is 130 kilometres per hour for cars and 80 kilometres per hour for towing cars.

It is also important to know that in winter or during heavy snowfall, cars must have winter equipment that includes winter tires on every wheel or summer tires but with snow chains either on the tires or in the boot if there is little snow on the ground.

Using a mobile phone whilst driving is subject to a 20,000SIT fine. A police man can impose any on the spot fine that is reduced by 50% is paid within 8 days. As a foreign driver, refusal to pay a fine can lead to your passport or other travel documents being taken from you.
