GNR intercepted, on average, 280 drivers per week with criminal alcohol levels

TVI Notícias3 September 2026 at 22:51

The GNR intercepted, on average, 280 drivers per week with criminal alcohol levels between January and July this year. This is the main information provided by the corporation regarding the phenomenon of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The data reveal that the majority of drivers identified with criminal alcohol levels fall within the age group of 51 to 64 years. This age group thus represents the largest group among the intoxicated drivers intercepted by the GNR during this period.

The GNR has been intensifying breathalyzer checks on Portuguese roads as part of its road safety operations, thus seeking to combat one of the main risk factors in road traffic accidents.

The article does not specify what additional measures the GNR intends to take in light of these figures nor does it present comparisons with previous periods.
