In an assessment of the campaign, which took place between
16 and 23 August and involved the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR), the
GNR and the PSP, the authorities reveal that around 3.3 million vehicles were
monitored by radar.
There were 2,849 accidents with victims, which resulted in
16 deaths, 70 serious injuries and 939 minor injuries.
Compared to the same period in 2021, there were eight more
accidents, two fewer fatalities, seven more serious injuries and 13 fewer minor
injuries.
The campaign aimed to raise awareness of the risks of
speeding, one of the main causes of road accidents.
Not surprising. The Portuguese speed, are on their mobiles while driving, drink and drive, tailgate, do not respect road signs. Until there is a serious will to educate the local population, this slaughtering on the roads in Portugal will continue.
