He was not her guide in the sense of the law
A cow that escaped from its farm in the village of Vasil Levski in Karlovy Vary collided with a car, which then hit a tree and stopped on the road in the opposite direction of traffic. The animal died, and there was a lot of damage to the car. This happened at around 4:14 a.m. on November 7th, and the policemen sent to the scene drew up a deed worth BGN 100 to the owner, who recognized the dead animal as his own. The criminal decree stated that he violated the rule in the Road Traffic Act, which obliges drivers of animals and herds not to leave them unattended.
The owner of the cow appealed the sanction, and it has already been canceled by the District Court in Karlovo, because there is no evidence in the case that he was the animal’s guide within the meaning of the law, it simply left the farm on its own accord. “Administrative liability is not foreseen for owners of animals who left them unsupervised and became the cause of a traffic accident”, it is written in the decision, which is subject to appeal before the Administrative Court in Plovdiv.
