The eight-time rally champion of Bulgaria and organizer of road safety trainings Dimitar Iliev joins the team of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov as a road safety adviser.
“This is a cause that I have been trying for many years to develop and in some way present to people the problems in order to better understand and understand the risks.
When a person knows the laws of physics and knows how they affect the car, the objects inside the car – he is much better aware of what his behavior should be, “said Dimitar Iliev on Nova TV.
He will insist on urgent repairs of the most dangerous black spots in Bulgaria.
“These are the places with aquaplaning – Kresna, Mikre, the Ruse-Byala road. The other thing I really want to happen in our country is for us all to start wearing seat belts.
For many years in Bulgaria, seat belts were not used, at one point it was said that this is becoming a priority and will be monitored. We are starting increased control for seat belts, seat belts. We are starting control over mobile phones, which have become a pandemic, “Iliev added on Bulgaria ON AIR.
The adviser to the Prime Minister stressed that telephones are especially dangerous for pedestrians.
Eight-time champion of Bulgaria joins Petkov’s team with the task to …
“I don’t want to talk about control as something to scare people with, because if we follow the rules and the laws, it’s a good thing. Control is dangerous for arrogant drivers who threaten others who follow the law. It’s very important. a person should not copy superpowers that he does not have “, Dimitar Iliev is categorical.
The rally champion said that a revision will be made, as well as an update of the teaching methodology from the earliest childhood to the training centers where we become drivers.
What we produce as drivers are not sufficiently prepared. In Bulgaria there is a feeling of “arranging” my driver’s license, not learning. What we need to do is make people want to learn, to realize the responsibility “Because we are talking about human lives. It is not the fines that are important, but the educational effect,” he explained.
And remind that in Bulgaria we have an extremely outdated fleet. Iliev commented on the Interior Ministry’s proposal to reduce speed on highways.
“10 km / h is not such a high speed, but against the background of the difference between 130 and 140 km / h – a huge difference. This difference will also contribute to less pollution, lower fuel consumption. I have a friend who came from France, the first months he drove according to the rules, after 6 months he said that he was caught at 160 km / h on the Ring Road “, Dimitar Iliev shared.
