Digital road checks in San Severo: the “Targa System” has been activated in the city to prevent cars without MOT and insurance

The new electronic control system “ Targa System ” has been operational since June 15th in San Severo, activated by the Local Police as part of road safety initiatives. The device allows you to check in real time , through automatic license plate reading, whether a vehicle is in compliance with its periodic inspection and mandatory insurance coverage (RC auto) . A crackdown that has been announced for some time and is now operational in the town with the aim of combating the most serious violations of the Highway Code.

Roadside checks and immediate sanctions

The system operates during vehicle checkpoints located throughout the territory: the officers, equipped with terminals connected to the database, receive a real-time alert every time a car in transit is found to be uninspected or uninsured. At that point, the operators intervene by stopping the vehicle and fining the driver as required by law .

Yesterday afternoon alone, the Command reported, 21 fines were issued following a single operation, for violations including lack of periodic inspection and lack of insurance coverage . A significant number, which demonstrates how the phenomenon of administrative irregularity of circulating vehicles is anything but marginal.

What are the risks for those who drive an unregistered vehicle?

The Command has issued a clear invitation to check the status of your circulation documents before getting behind the wheel. The law is clear:

– Anyone who drives without third party motor insurance incurs an administrative penalty pursuant to Article 193 of the Highway Code , to which is added the administrative seizure of the vehicle ; – Anyone who drives with an expired MOT , pursuant to Article 80 of the Highway Code , is fined and sees the vehicle suspended from circulation until regularisation, with an annotation on the registration document by the officers.

A step forward in road safety

The “Targa System” represents an important innovation for road surveillance activities, putting digital technology at the service of legality . The declared objective is twofold: to prevent accidents caused by potentially dangerous vehicles and to guarantee fairness between citizens who respect the rules and those who evade controls.

The crackdown on insurance and inspections is only the first step in a broader plan that includes a progressive strengthening of control facilities , both fixed and mobile, in the coming weeks.
