Speed traps are somewhat common, but the police is nice if you are nice to them.
Just don't play tricks and act casual :)

Common in urban areas, around schools and stuff like that.

How about simply not driving faster than allowed?

 I do that all the time, and that's why my licence is impounded most of
 the time. You could even offer them a bribe, if the digit is high
 enough they'll let you go. It's against the law to bribe them, but
 usually it works :)

 Or you could drive under 30kmh under speed limit, for example if speed
 limit is 60, you drive 89 and you're good with a ticket.

I would strongly advise against any bribery! It may work for the local
people, but if you are a foreigner you won't be able to understand a
lot of the talk, and can only have trouble!!!

Just drive in accordance to the law and all should be good :)

Re: [Debconf-discuss] A few Debconf questions

2011-03-31 Thread Adnan Hodzic
 Do you have any idea what the schedule might be for that?  What I'm
 trying to avoid is a flight that arrives in Zagreb after the last bus
 for the day has left.  Meanwhile, I hope to get my air tickets soon
 because sometimes transatlantic flights fill up and prices go up.

This shouldn't happen as we'll have a list who's arriving when, and
we'll have clear idea if the bus can leave for that time period of a
day. Of course depending on when's who arriving, in the peak when
everyone is arriving there will be the most buses.

Either way, don't worry :)

  3) How do I book a hotel room?  Do I need to say I'm with Debconf somehow?

 We're planning to open registrations within 30 days, you'll be able to
 do it of our website (http://debconf11.debconf.org)

 Does that also hold if my company pays for my accomodation?  (which
 may be possible here)

  volunteers are needed?  Would she be able to eat the conference food if she
  volunteers in that way?

 Please add her under:
  http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Teams#Volunteers

 Done.

  5) Where can I find information on the costs and expense of the bus from 
  the
  Zagreb airport to Banja Luka?  Does it take me directly to the hotel area?

 We're planning to have free organized transport from Airport (Zagreb,
 Sarajevo) to (Venue) in Banja Luka.

 Do you have any idea what the schedule might be for that?  What I'm

 Thanks again!
