A video recorded on the Plovdiv ring road shows a tractor without license plates towing a caravan in heavy traffic. The tractor had flower pots instead of mandatory registration plates. The driver who filmed the incident noted that a police patrol nearby did not intervene. Under Bulgarian traffic law, driving without plates is an offense, and the slow-moving vehicle caused congestion and forced risky overtaking.
