Dear Sir or Madam!             I and my fellow citizens are often faced with disadvantage and unequal life chances, and we see how some people are privileged because they live elsewhere. And when we point out injustices to the authorities, they give us the short answer: "That's the law." If that is true, it is unjust and does not give all the inhabitants of the Republic of Slovenia the same opportunities. And since, in talking to friends and fellow citizens, we realise that it is time to do something, I would like to make a few suggestions here. For the time being, these three: 1. We live at 950 metres above sea level. At that altitude, winter conditions are worse than in the lowlands. And the roads are therefore quite difficult to travel, especially in winter. However, since rural development has been neglected in our country, and there is no development at all in the higher altitudes, we can hardly talk about roads when it comes to transport links. Because they do not meet any of the criteria of roads any more. These roads are mostly between 3.2 and 3.6 metres wide and have deteriorated retaining walls. And how can a car (1.8m wide) meet a bus (2.5m wide) on such a "road"? Either way you combine them, the road is at least half a metre narrower than the two passing vehicles... And all these roads are already old and poorly maintained. That is why I and other fellow citizens are forced to use four-wheel drive vehicles to "widen" the road on muddy and unpaved banks. Most of us opt for off-road vehicles, which are more elevated off the ground and can therefore more easily negotiate the boulders that are quickly blown over by the wind and snow in the hills. But these vehicles are already heavier than conventional cars because of their construction. And because of their purpose, they have more powerful engines. And because of this, these vehicles are subject to a higher road tax than ordinary cars. We have them, though, because we live at higher altitudes, where winters are longer than in the lowlands, where there is more snow than in the lowlands and where the roads are worse than in the lowlands. And that is why these vehicles are as important to us as a pair of sandals to someone in Koper. Because in the hills, a powerful off-road vehicle is a must. Therefore, the state could provide a benefit to those who live at higher altitudes and, for these people, provide both a lower road tax for four-wheel drive vehicles and a tax exemption on the purchase of such a vehicle (both, say, depending on the altitude of the permanent residence, because the higher one lives, the more one is entitled to an off-road vehicle with four-wheel drive). 2. When determining the amount of social transfers (child benefit, reduced kindergarten fees, etc.), they look at the applicant's assets. And they include a vehicle worth more than €8000 among the assets. For this money, a small passenger car in excellent condition is obtained. If the applicant is not too demanding, he can even get a new car with only basic equipment. However, if the applicant lives at the aforementioned altitude of almost 1 000 metres above sea level, he or she needs an off-road vehicle because of the living environment. Which, however, is much more expensive due to the four-wheel drive and the construction itself. And because it is more expensive, it is counted as an asset, which means reducing social transfers to those who are already in a more difficult situation than someone in the lowlands... 3. As mentioned above, when determining the amount of social transfers (child benefit, reduced kindergarten fees, etc.), the assets of the applicant are taken into account. And among the assets they count a vehicle worth more than €8000. If it is a family of no more than five, this is still somewhat acceptable. But what if it is a larger family? A seven-seater vehicle costing €8000 is either stolen or in such a state that it is no longer safe to drive the family around in it... Therefore, such families are expected to be given the same mobility opportunities as others and, for such families, to have the value of the vehicle raised so that it is counted as an asset.
