A significant traffic enforcement operation was conducted throughout the Attica region from early Thursday until this morning, aimed at preventing drunk driving. The initiative was led by the Attica Traffic Police, involving specialized teams focused on traffic accident prevention and law enforcement. During this operation, a remarkable 41,689 checks were carried out, leading to the identification of 282 violations related to alcohol consumption while driving.

Among the offenses recorded, nine drivers were arrested for exceeding a blood alcohol concentration of 0.60 mg/l, highlighting the seriousness of the issue. Additionally, officers from the Athens Traffic Subdivision noted 93 violations for speeding in residential areas where limits are set at 30 km/h.
