GNR firefighting vehicles stopped due to error in vehicle registration documents

Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 01:30

The vehicles of the Republican National Guard (GNR) dedicated to firefighting are stopped due to errors in the vehicle registration documents. The problem lies in the fact that these are not identified in the Single Vehicle Document as "special vehicles," which means they do not comply with the legal requirements for that classification.

As a result of this situation, the vehicles would fail the Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV), making them unable to legally circulate on the roads. This situation directly affects the GNR's response capacity in firefighting operations.

The authorities are working to correct the documentation of the vehicles, so that they are properly classified as special vehicles and can pass the inspection, restoring the operability of the GNR's firefighting resources.

Breathalyzer tests needed for drivers.

This is a humorous and detailed account of a driver in Funchal, Madeira, who followed a vehicle driven by what appeared to be a very drunk person. The author describes how the driver drove erratically, making dangerous lane changes, occupying both lanes of traffic, and nearly causing several accidents. The vehicle ended up hitting a side mirror at the entrance of the Pingo Doce warehouse, then continued driving in the opposite lane. The author followed the car at a safe distance and humorously suggests the driver should be tested, comparing him to "a barrel of Madeira Wine." The post ends with a sarcastic note warning that the mirror can be found at the accident site.
