In Slovenia, the police can impose a fine on the spot for traffic violations; if the fine is paid within eight days it is reduced by 50%. Foreign drivers who refuse to pay a fine on the spot can have their passport and other documents taken from them and can be brought before a police court judge.
Headlights 24-hours a day
Slovenia requires headlights to be operated 24-hours a day. The "Autocestas" or toll roads in Slovenia are a pleasure to drive. There are rest stops at frequent intervals, most complete with restaurants and convenience stores that are very attractive. There are numerous tunnels, some as long as 10-15 kms, but they are also well thought out. There are emergency exits every few feet, and signs that tell you whether the entrance or exit is closer.Vignettes obligatory
In accordance with the amendment of the Public Roads Act, approved by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia end of April 2008, use of vignettes (Vinjeta) is obligatory for all vehicles with the permissible maximum weight of 3,500 kg (the current first and second toll-rate category) on motorways and expressways in the Republic of Slovenia as of 1 July 2008. The toll-collection system with vignettes is being introduced with the aim of improving traffic flow and reducing emissions to the environment.Parking in cities
