What you’ll learn

  1. You'll fill up, pay and ask about your tyres.
  2. You'll describe a problem with the car and ask about the price.
  3. You'll show your documents and understand the police officer.
  4. You'll handle a minor accident and call roadside assistance.

In the car you always need your driving licence, the registration certificate ("⁠талон⁠") and valid third-party insurance ("⁠Гражданска отговорност⁠"). For a car on the paid road network, you may need an electronic vignette — check with БГТОЛ. In town, watch where you park — there are blue and green zones. After a minor accident with no injuries, drivers can fill in a joint report; if anyone is hurt, call 112. This is general information, not legal advice — rules change, so check with the Interior Ministry (МВР) and your insurer. Amounts and conditions in the dialogues are examples.
