IMPORTANT: During the winter months, adverse weather conditions (heavy snowfall, torrential rain, strong winds, etc.) often occur in Romania, requiring increased caution when traveling by car on the country's roads. We recommend that Bulgarian citizens planning to stay in or transit through Romania check the real-time situation before traveling (using the interactive road map available at: https://andnet.ro/dispecerat/harta.php) and to regularly check the current forecasts and warnings (yellow, orange, or red code) of the National Meteorological Administration (via the website: https://www.meteoromania.ro/avertizari/).
IMPORTANT: According to Article 74 of Regulation No. 27 of August 31, 2011: "Equipment with tachographs and speed limiters is mandatory for motor vehicles or combinations of road vehicles intended for the carriage of goods by road with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 3.5 tons and for motor vehicles intended for the carriage of passengers by road with more than 9 seats, including the driver's seat, in accordance with the provisions of national and European regulations.
IMPORTANT: "According to Article 334, paragraph 4 of the Romanian Penal Code, driving a motor vehicle or towing a trailer on public roads whose registration plates have been withdrawn, or a vehicle registered in another country that is not authorized to circulate in Romania, is punishable by imprisonment of 6 months to 2 years or a fine. The Romanian authorities consider that the movement within the country of motor vehicles with yellow German registration plates falls within this category and classify such cases as a criminal offense, with all the negative consequences that this entails.
