Among these, 23 concerned violations of the rules on the correct use of seat belts and the use of cell phones while driving.
The speed control services, carried out with the tools available, led to significant results, with 68 fines contested for exceeding the established speed limits. The checks carried out by the Perugia Traffic Police Section made it possible to identify a driver in a state of psychophysical alteration due to alcohol abuse. This driver has had his driving license revoked.
The checks on heavy vehicles, vehicles used for transporting goods and buses, both with national and foreign license plates, led to important results. These checks aim to monitor compliance with regulations that have a significant impact on road safety, such as regulations regulating loading, documentation of transported material and compliance with weight limits of goods.
