Sardinia is the worst-hit country for road deaths: "It's been worse for the last ten years."

In fifteen years, the number of victims has increased from 98 to 113 in the space of 12 months. The main cause: distraction. The use of synthetic substances is also on the rise. Data from the Cagliari Mobility Lab conference
