The National Road Safety Authority (ANSR), the PSP and the GNR are starting on Tuesday a campaign to alert drivers to the risks of driving at high speed, one of the main causes of accidents, it was announced today.
The road safety campaign called “Travel without haste” is part of the 2023 National Inspection Plan and will run until February 06, consisting of ANSR awareness actions and inspection operations by the Public Security Police and the National Republican Guard. .
In a joint statement, ANSR, PSP and GNR refer that the campaign aims to "alert drivers to the risks of driving at excessive speed", since it is one of the main causes of accidents on the roads and is responsible for more than 60% of registered infractions.
ANSR, PSP and GNR underline that, in a collision, the probability of fatalities increases depending on the speed at which vehicles travel.
