Since many Slovenians visit the country every year and many of them also cycle there, it is good to know about the special novelty they intend to introduce in their southern neighbor. The draft law on transport, which the government submitted to parliament a few days ago, is making several changes and amendments to the young drivers and punishment points there, while serious violators are waiting for a mandatory health check, similar to what is already regulated in Slovenia.

They are abolishing the completely bureaucratic first roadworthiness test that hitherto had to be done in Croatia for brand new vehicles.
