Double the number of accident victims. In the first 7 days of September alone, 16 people died on the road, 9 more than in the same period last year. Since the beginning of 2020, the death toll has been close to 300. The Ministry of the Interior reports that the main cause of accidents continues to be driver errors.
Rumyana Chobanova is a happily married woman with two children until she realizes that her lover will not return from work. “He was keeping the road, they had been called in for an accident, a self-destructing car. A car crashes at breakneck speed, hits them, and leaves my husband in place. The boy in the car that crashed died in the hospital hours later, “he said.
Experts: It is necessary to establish a road safety headquarters
You want to talk about the accident with hope: If an irrational driver hears you, think about what it could cause.
“My husband’s colleague is still very seriously injured. He has affected muscles, torn tendons, his condition is serious, broken pelvis, broken leg, broken arm,” he added.
According to the Ministry of the Interior, with the increase in serious accidents with victims, the main reasons for them do not change. First is the inconsistent and excessive speed. After being widowed, Rumyana thinks differently. “It’s not just drivers who are to blame for accidents.” We have ugly roads, no markings, crazy signs or no signs, “he said.

Experts make concrete proposals for changes that do not lead to a further increase in incidents with victims. First, evaluate the road network and increase control. “Modify certain sections of the road in such a way that if a person makes a mistake, they should at least stay alive,” said Diana Rusinova of the European Center for Transport Policy.
“Currently, the speed is controlled by cameras of the Traffic Police, which are 200. At the same time, we have cameras from the toll system, we have cameras from the Road Agency. We have chambers of the municipalities. If these 4 separate systems come together and start to control speed and violations, then we will not have 200 cameras, we will probably have more than 1,000 cameras and immediately the average speed will decrease and there will be much more serious control, “Vladimir Todorov of Victims Association of Accidents.
Rumyana also has her own proposal for change, because according to her many people in our country do not have a culture of adequate behavior on the road. “It is mandatory to have weekly education from kindergarten through college,” she said.
