The campaign, which will run until Monday, 21 October, includes awareness-raising actions by ANSR and inspection operations by the GNR and PSP.

The campaign aims to "alert drivers about the negative and even fatal consequences of improper use of cell phones while driving."

The awareness actions take place in conjunction with inspection operations scheduled in the following locations:

· October 15th, at 2pm: Rua Francisco Salgado Zenha, Guarda (40.53544, -7.26804)

· October 16th, at 8am: "Móveis Torres" roundabout - Castelo Branco (39.798564, -7.534447)

· October 17th, at 2pm: Rua de Santa Iria, Vila Real (41.30813, -7.73989)

· October 18th, at 8am: Parque Descanso on the A4, Quintanilha (38.578304, -7.902009)

· October 21st, at 4pm: Avenida São Lourenço da Barrosa, Portimão (37.13475, -8.54473)

This is the tenth of 12 awareness and inspection campaigns planned for this year as part of the 2024 National Inspection Plan.

In the note, ANSR, GNR and PSP recall that at "50 kilometers per hour (km/h), looking at your cell phone for three seconds is the same as driving a distance of 42 meters blindfolded, the equivalent of a queue of 10 cars".
