What are the consequences of driving without vignette?

If you have not paid vignette charge for the use of the paid road network, you are an infringer and are subject to penalty.

Infringement is determined through the Electronic system and through the stationary and mobile cameras of the National Toll Administration located on the road. Control of the payment of vignette charge will be performed by the authorities of the Ministry of Interior as well as the National Customs Agency in the cases where the vehicle leaves the territory of Bulgaria through the border crossing points.

Around 300 stationary cameras and 105 vehicle-mounted cameras will be functioning on the roads of Bulgaria, which will control, in a twenty-four-hour regime, the payment of the respective road charge – e-vignette, by licence plate recognisition of the vehicle and verification in the system.
