More than 215,000 drivers were caught speeding by the radars managed by the National Authority for Road Safety (ANSR) between January and May 2024, representing a 40% increase compared to the same period in 2023.
The data revealed by the ANSR is part of the report on accidents and road enforcement for May 2024, which shows that the number of drivers monitored by the radar system under the responsibility of the ANSR increased by 79.6% between January and May compared to the same period in 2023.
The report indicates that in the first five months of the year, 92,402,878 vehicles were monitored by the radars of the National Speed Control System (Sincro), while in the same period in 2023, there were 51,461,809.
“From January to May 2024, 96.3 million vehicles were monitored, both in person and through automatic enforcement means, showing an increase of 70.7% compared to the same period in 2023. The Sincro managed by the ANSR recorded an increase of 79.6%, in contrast to the PSP and GNR, which reported decreases of 25.6% and 19.6%, respectively,” the document states.
The report also notes that the radar system under the responsibility of the ANSR accounted for 96% of total enforcement in the first five months of 2024, compared to 91% in the same period the previous year.
The fines resulting from the radar monitoring by Sincro increased by 40%, rising from 154,063 between January and May 2023 to 216,656 in the same period this year.
Out of 96.3 million vehicles monitored, 366.2 thousand infractions were detected, which represents a decrease of 1.9% compared to the same period last year, with only the ANSR radars recording an increase during this time.
The report also indicates that by May 2024, around 700 thousand drivers will have lost points on their driving licenses.
Thus, since June 2016, when the points-based driving license system came into effect, 3,219 drivers have had their driving licenses revoked, the ANSR further states.
