The speed campaign carried out by Traffic between July 6 and 12 ended with 28,969 drivers penalized for going faster than allowed. (Here you can see where the 1,324 radars are used)

The data represents 5.2% of the 550,267 vehicles controlled and means returning to the parameters of before the pandemic. In its last messages, the DGT had warned of an increase in the percentage of vehicles detected with excessive speed, reaching 7% in some cases.

Added to this is the normalization of the loss figures. Traffic reported at the end of last week of a 22% increase in the number of deaths since June 21 -end of the state of alarm- compared to the same period in 2019. The percentage had already fallen to 9% just one day then, and according to the latest data, which includes the victims counted from that day until Thursday the 16th, the increase has decreased by 2%: 84 compared to 82 deaths.

More surveillance on secondary roads

Compared to previous campaigns, 30% more vehicles have been controlled and surveillance has focused on secondary roads, which cause three out of every four deaths in an accident. The results point to this. More complaints were made in absolute values ​​(17,641 vs. 11,328), obviously, but also in relative terms: 5.8% of the cars under surveillance, by 4.5% on motorways and freeways.

In addition, the body led by Pere Navarro points out that the excesses detected on secondary roads are higher and that, in the case of radars on board vehicles (more difficult to detect), the average speed at which cars circulated it was 111 km / h. That is, 21 km / h above the maximum limit.

It can be a crime punishable by jail

In this sense, Traffic recalls that great speeding is a criminal offense, as stated in Article 379 of the Penal Code, which states that "anyone who drives a motor vehicle or moped at a speed greater than 60 km / h on urban roads or at 80 km / h on the interurban highway to the permitted, will be punished with a prison sentence of three to six months or a fine of six to 12 months or work for the benefit of the community from thirty-one to ninety days, and , in any case, to the deprivation of the right to drive motor vehicles and mopeds for a period exceeding one and up to four years. "

In addition, in this table you can see the amount of the fine and the number of points that can be lost depending on speeding. Failure to comply with these rules is classified as a serious or very serious infraction, punished with fines of 100 to 600 euros.
