Slovenians are very proud of their cars and often keep them very clean. Driving is the main way to see the country's natural beauty. Slovenia follows EU driving regulations. You can drive with a license from any EU country. Driving in the mountains requires special skills, especially in winter. 'Voziti avto' in snow is a common topic of conversation. In the center of Ljubljana, car traffic is restricted. People often say 'Ne vozim avta v center' (I don't drive a car to the center).

In casual conversation, you can just say 'Vozim' if it's clear you're talking about a car.
The Negative Rule
Always remember to change 'avto' to 'avta' when saying you don't drive.
