Traffic police in Attica have been working overtime this June, issuing a staggering 38,567 traffic violations – that’s more than 1,280 tickets every single day. The data reveals an alarming pattern among drivers in this Greek region, with speeding violations and failure to wear helmets topping the list of offenses.
Speed demons and helmet rebels dominate traffic violations
As part of targeted actions implemented by the Attica Traffic Police to improve road safety in the region, June 2025 saw a flood of citations issued to reckless drivers. Among these violations, 788 were classified as misdemeanors – serious offenses that carry heavier penalties.
Breaking down the numbers shows a concerning trend among motorists:
– 3,566 speeding violations, making it one of the most common infractions
– A whopping 4,067 citations for not wearing protective helmets
– 974 cases of driving under the influence of alcohol (62 of which were misdemeanors)
– 1,334 instances of seatbelt violations
– 524 cases of drivers using mobile phones while behind the wheel
– 354 red light violations
– 112 citations for dangerous maneuvers
The deadly consequences of traffic violations
These aren’t just numbers on a page. During the same period, Attica saw 552 traffic accidents resulting in 659 casualties. The breakdown is sobering:
– 12 fatal accidents claiming 13 lives
– 12 serious accidents with 16 severe injuries
– 528 minor accidents resulting in 630 light injuries
Traffic police identified the main causes of these accidents as driving without due care and attention, ignoring regulatory signs, and pedestrians violating traffic rules. The severity of injuries was often magnified when motorcyclists and their passengers failed to wear protective helmets.
A reminder from traffic authorities
The Traffic Police emphasize that proper road behavior and adherence to traffic regulations are fundamental requirements for both safe travel and accident prevention. (I’ve seen this firsthand during my commutes – it takes just seconds of distraction to create life-changing consequences.)
With summer travel season in full swing across the US, these statistics serve as a stark reminder that traffic laws exist for a reason. Whether you’re driving in dense urban areas like Los Angeles or Miami, or cruising through rural highways, maintaining speed limits and using proper safety equipment can mean the difference between reaching your destination safely or becoming another statistic.
