Why carry an IDP while driving in Slovakia?
Your IDP is a valid form of identification in more than 150 countries worldwide and contains your name, photo and driver information in the 12 most widely spoken languages in the world – it is understandable to most of the local officials and authorities of the countries you visit.
It translates your identification information into 12 languages — so it speaks the language even if you don’t. Slovakia highly recommends an International Driving Permit.

Driving in the Winter
There are lot of mountains pass overs on the roads from the south to the north of Slovakia. Try to avoid them in winter if possible. If there is snow or glare ice, it is good to use tire chains.
You must have a first-aid kit when traveling as well as reflective vest on your car if you ever need a tire traction. Sometimes, the best way to stay safe is to avoid driving until winter storm passes.
