Head-on, like your comments. The Bulgarian police (state) should stop hiding behind the phrase "nesaobrazena skorost" (incongruous speed) every time an accident occurs. If the drivers were driving within the speed limit then clearly some research should be done for the real reasons that lead to the accident happening.

The crushed car is a good idea, but looks a bit close to the road.

Anyway, what about putting a large sign behind this reminding people about the consequences; for example, two families died in this car, are you going to be next ? car etc etc.

And what about the idea where people had to drive with their headlights on during the day!! Here is a good one; women drivers high heels were to be measured;and what about the vest which had to be put in your car!! None of these ideas have contributed to a down-turn in road accidents!

I find it interesting how many of these deaths resulted from head-on collisions because it backs up one of my personal theories. After driving here for 12 years, I've often thought that most of the accidents that occur probably happen while over-taking other cars. And although there are some idiots out there who drive much too fast, I believe most people over-take when they get completely frustrated driving behind very slow cars, trucks and buses on the road ahead of them.

Yet when the Bulgarian police mention doing anything about the accident rate, they always talk [...]

Read the full comment about making people drive slower. I remember when they actually suggested that a law be passed that inexperienced drivers should be forced to drive under the speed limit for a year. (I wonder how much research went into that response?)

It seems to me that the problem is less about speeding cars and more about the slowness of the ancient trucks, buses, and cars on the road. These molasses-like vehicles move so slow that those traveling at a reasonable rate of speed have no choice but to pass them. And anytime one car passes another, the chances of a head-on collision go up.

So I have a few suggestions for the Bulgarian police.
1. Review all of the archaic speed limits which were designed for Travants and Ladas not the faster, modern cars of today.
2. Improve road infrastructure by installing more lanes on highways and clearly marking roads with lines and signs. Fill the pot-holes and keep the roads in good repair.
3. Insist that vehicles drive at a reasonable rate of speed by not allowing slow-moving vehicles on highways and posting limits on the minimum speeds allowed. Also more thoroughly check for over-weight trucks and buses.
4. Police poor driving rather than just troll for fines. Catch red-light runners, fine those who stop illegally in the roads or park in the middle of driving lanes.
5. Quit blaming the motorists all the time. It is mostly your fault. People drive like they do because the police allow them to do so and because the police do not spend the time and energy to actually research why the problems occur. Do your job, compile statistics and research what is happening, then come up with reasonable and practical solutions and make people abide by the laws.

Keep em coming i need the work.
