Almost half of traffic deaths in SP involve motorcyclists; rush in deliveries increases risks

In São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Belo Horizonte and Salvador, motorcyclists were caught riding on sidewalks, running red lights, making prohibited turns, traveling in the wrong lane and using cell phones while driving. Speeding is the most common infraction, with a 51% increase in fines in São Paulo and 23% in Rio in the first half of the year. Experts warn that no delivery justifies the risk, highlighting that motorcyclists are 17 times more likely to die in accidents than car occupants. Victims of serious accidents report consequences such as amputations and burns, while advocating for greater inspection and education in traffic.
