"Moorcroft was able to give me good local advice and also arrange car and house insurance for me quickly and easily with a reputable company at a very good rate. I would recommend them to anyone new to Romania looking to insure their car or household goods, or just to get the lie of the land."

Romanian Drivers Won’t Be Obliged To Get Snow Tires This Winter

written by Mediafax

Romanian Transport Minister Anca Boagiu said Thursday drivers who will cause accidents or block streets because their cars are not properly equipped will be fined and will be compelled to cover road-clearing costs if they get snowed in.

She said insurers will not cover car accident claims in the case of improperly equipped cars.

Boagiu met Thursday with employer and union representatives in the transport sector and agreed to amend the draft act on equipping vehicles for winter. Discussions on the matter will continue next week.

Boagiu said last week the Government would approve in two weeks an emergency decree obliging vehicle owners to equip their cars with snow tires from November 1 to March 31.

The decree also set that drivers failing to observe the law would be fined between 2,500 lei (EUR1= RON 4.2839) and RON4,000.
