Veneto had 8 deaths in 72 hours, Marche 5, three Emilia-Romagna, two Rome, with accidents also caused by pirates with impaired driving as in Mestre, where a 25-year-old cyclist lost his life.

“The alarm is now over – emphasizes Biserni – we are witnessing a carnage every weekend, with an average of 30/40 deaths, without anyone at the political level implementing a parliamentary initiative that introduces a real squeeze, even with a serious road control plan, with batteries of breathalyzers and evening and night patrols. More uniforms are needed on the roads, more controls on distraction while driving, on the state of intoxication and on the use of drugs. By mid-August the Legislative Decree must be converted into law Infrastructures-bis, then we have the courage in Parliament to insert the suspension of the driving license on the first violation in the use of the mobile phone while driving and that this behavior becomes aggravating in the crimes of road homicide and personal road injury “.
