Italian Transport Minister Matteo Salvini expressed satisfaction with the new Traffic Code, claiming it has saved lives, particularly on New Year’s Eve where incidents dropped from 482 to 429 compared to last year. However, the ASAPS police supporters’ association contests this optimism, stating that fatal accident statistics have remained consistent with the previous year. Data shows 134 deaths in the span following the Code’s implementation, suggesting the need for longer-term monitoring before evaluating the law’s impact.
