O crime de condução perigosa de veículo rodoviário e a sua perceção pelos militares da GNR afetos a fiscalização rodoviária

The Republican National Guard has a core role concerning the security of Portugal’s roads since a significant part of them are under its responsibility. Dangerous driving is a crime that happens less times that other two crimes (driving without a license and driving under the influence), but it isn’t covered by the media like those two, much to the small number of reports written by the Security Forces. This work aims to approach the particularity of this crime given it poses a real threat and because its report requirements are far demanding. The thesis is divided in two parts. The first one develops the theory frame through the analysis of documents. The second part deals with the processing of fines from selected samples. The conclusion of this study states that there is a way of reducing situations that could result in this type of crime using fines. Other conclusion points to the fact that the time gap between the occurrence of the crime and a judge’s sentence is substantial, meaning that the military from the Republican National Guard often opt for the second option because the sentences and the security measures for this crime can often find parallel in other type of crimes. The about 200 sentences reached per day from courts all over the country when tied to the 700/800 criminal defenses mean that the National Authority for Road Security is overloaded with administrative work, which is a problem that could be surpassed with the implementation of a new document and a different access to the data of each driver through the National Authority for Road Security’s website.
