During the increased monitoring, the blue uniforms highlighted a series of flagrant violations that endanger the lives of road users. On national axes, speeding remains the main cause aggravating the consequences of accidents, for which 1,331 drivers were penalized.

The list of other penalties includes 332 drivers caught without protective helmets, 126 without wearing seat belts, and 66 others who were using their mobile phone while driving. Also, 166 drivers were fined for improper overtaking, 27 for driving under the influence of alcohol, 11 for dangerous maneuvers and noise in urban centers, as well as 494 others for various violations caught during checks.

Citing the high weekend flow towards the coast and tourist areas, the Traffic Police Directorate has increased patrols and intelligent monitoring on the ground. The latest appeal to drivers is clear: show maximum care, respect the rules, and avoid any behavior that threatens everyone’s physical integrity. Uncontrolled speed, alcohol, and carelessness behind the wheel are the common enemy that must be fought from the moment you start the engine.
