Security - "Cinto-me Vivo" detects more than 20 thousand road infractions

Noticias de Arronches15 September 2026 at 18:19

The "Cinto-me Vivo" campaign took place between 8 and 14 September, integrated into the National Enforcement Plan 2026, and inspected a total of 3,758,836 vehicles and drivers across the country. During this operation, 20,312 road infractions were detected.

The initiative was promoted by the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR), in collaboration with the GNR and PSP. The main focus of the campaign was on the correct use of seat belts, child restraint systems and helmets.

Of the 20,312 infractions detected, 619 were directly related to the non-use or incorrect use of the aforementioned safety devices. The article is incomplete, so other types of infractions recorded during the operation are not mentioned.

Why this matters

All drivers and passengers in Portugal are affected by this road enforcement, which represents a significant increase in the enforcement of safety rules. The high number of infractions detected indicates that many motorists still do not comply with basic safety rules, which may lead to more enforcement actions in the future. This campaign follows the guidelines of the National Enforcement Plan 2026 to reduce road accidents in the country.
