Campanha Rodoviária ‘Viaje sem Pressa’ Director 12 deaths and 3130 accidents in 6 days

Two people died and 24 people were seriously injured in 3130 accidents in the six days from The “Travel without pressing” tax bell, which detected 20,363 offences, including 8,921 for speeding.

This third holiday, January 27, is not published, the bell produced between January 20 and 26 registered up to 708 regular holidays.

With the participation of the National Security Agency (ANSR), the National Guard of the Republic (GNR) and the Public Security Police (PSP), the operation claimed more than 510 accidents, more than two deaths, less than 21 serious injuries and less than 279 minor injuries in relation to the homologous period of 2025.

There are 12 deaths – all homes – they were between 18 and 87 years old. These 11 sour mortars were registered in our districts of Aveiro, Braga, Coimbra, Leiria, Lisboa, Santarém and Setúbal, comprising three colisões and three despistes.

According to security forces, 5.7 million vehicles, approximately 590 million PSPs and GNRs, and 5.1 million Sistema Nacional de Controlo de Velocidade (SINCRO), or ANSR’s national speed control system, were taxed by radar during the year’s campaign.

The tax authorities currently have 52,954 drivers involved in a total of 20,363 detected offences, including 8,921 for speeding – 8,742 incidents in mainland Portugal and 179 in the autonomous regions of Azores and Madeira, with 998 tested for PSP and 3,070 for GNR.

The bell aims to alert you to the “risk of speeding” and make you responsible for “finding a third of the deaths on Portugal’s roads”.

As part of the “Travel without pressure” campaign, 616 drivers and passengers react sensitively to this, conveying messages such as “how much more speed, more pregnancies due to an accident” or how “keeping a safe distance significantly reduces the risk of an accident”.

It was the first of 11 campaign predictions for 2026 under the National Fiscal Plan (PNF), which this year will retain the central themes of 2025 – speed, alcohol, safety devices, mobile phone and motor vehicle use – and growing new items dedicated to vulnerable users.

National tax plans will be implemented annually by ANSR, GNR and PSP from 2020, with themes defined starting from the European recommendations for each year.
