'Legal changes have been drafted in response to the frequent road accidents involving trucks,' said Grozdan Karadzhov, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, after a meeting with non-governmental organisations focused on road safety, as reported by Dobrina Karambolova of BNR.
The government has planned stricter controls on heavy goods vehicles. In the event of truck overloading, everyone in the supply chain will be held responsible. Currently, drivers are almost solely responsible for overloading. Extra teams will patrol the roads where there is heavy freight traffic daily.
