The operation, called "Safe use of TVDE", took place on 5 and 6 September, and was carried out simultaneously in Lisbon, Porto, and Faro, at local airports, and in nearby areas.

During this operation, which involved 61 police officers, 437 drivers were checked, and 125 offences directly related to TVDE activity were detected, in addition to a further 46 offences recorded by the authorities that participated with the PSP in this operation, namely the Mobility and Transport Authority (AMT), the Mobility and Transport Institute (IMT) and the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT).

Among the offences found in TVDE, the PSP states that 11 were for using a vehicle without valid civil liability and personal accident insurance for this type of activity, and 25 cases were also detected without a valid written contract proving the employment relationship with a TVDE operator.

During the operation, one offence was also detected for providing services outside of an electronic platform, and four for driving a vehicle by people not registered on a TVDE platform or without holding a driver's certificate.

In a statement, the PSP also reported three cases of drivers without a valid driving license for this type of service, four of cars without the mandatory inspection, as well as several situations in which the vehicles were operating without the identification sticker and one for carrying out the TVDE activity without a license issued by the IMT (i.e. lack of a permit).

The PSP states that it will carry out new inspection operations targeted at specific activities, continuing to "keep an eye on all risky behaviours of drivers who are more likely to cause road accidents".
