In the realm of road safety, the Traffic Police Section of Brescia has intensified its checks on the roads over the past week, with a particular focus on smartphone use while driving. This initiative resulted in the suspension of 21 driving licenses due to violations of Article 173 of the Highway Code, which prohibits the use of electronic devices while driving. The operations were carried out through strategic checkpoints along the main provincial routes, addressing an increasingly widespread and often underestimated issue.
The use of mobile phones for calls, messaging, or navigation poses a serious risk to road users, significantly contributing to accidents. The Traffic Police plan to continue and strengthen this activity in the coming days, deploying plainclothes officers to monitor reckless behavior. The objective is clear: to raise awareness about the dangers of distraction while driving and ensure that every life on the road is protected.
