The Slovenian Police have launched the #RoadSafetyPledge campaign at the start of July, urging road users to make a personal commitment to safer driving and other road-use habits during the summer. Police say summer months are among the most dangerous for road traffic because of factors such as holidays, longer journeys, heavier traffic, hot weather, driver fatigue and a more relaxed attitude behind the wheel. The campaign invites people to identify one behaviour that puts themselves or others at risk and to commit to changing it for the duration of the month. On 1 July 2026, Robert Vehovec, Head of the Traffic Police Division at the General Police Directorate, presented the campaign and outlined the main road safety challenges in the summer period. He said the aim is for everyone to choose one decision and one habit that can help make roads safer. Vehovec also highlighted what police describe as common causes of serious road accidents and outlined enforcement plans for the peak tourist season. He said awareness alone will not reach everyone, so the Police will continue targeted traffic enforcement through the summer, focusing on the most common causes of serious crashes. Among the risks the campaign highlights are speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road or in the wrong direction, failing to give right of way, not keeping a safe following distance, using a mobile phone while driving, fatigue and reduced concentration, failing to wear a seatbelt or protective helmet, and driving under the influence of alcohol or other psychoactive substances. Police advise road users to set off in good time, ensure they are well rested and fully focused, check traffic information and allow for delays. They also recommend adjusting speed to the speed limit, road and traffic conditions and individual driving ability, and paying extra attention to vulnerable road users including motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians, and e-scooter and moped riders. The Police say speeding remains a leading factor in serious accidents even during summer. The campaign is supported by a series of humorous road safety characters designed to encourage drivers to recognise risky habits. Road users can make their pledge via the #RoadSafetyPledge website.
