Para tanto, utilizou-se das premissas da pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, com destaque para a pesquisa documental. No desenvolvimento do texto, além dos autores de referência na área, foram utilizados relatórios institucionais: Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA), Polícia Rodoviária Federal (PRF), e Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes (DNIT). No decorrer deste trabalho são apresentados dados referentes ao número e tipologia dos acidentes, bem como os custos decorrentes destes. Na sequência de estudos temos a análise das duas principais ações em vigor no país, quais sejam: o Código de Trânsito Brasileiro, nas suas várias atualizações, e a Lei nº 11.705, de 19 de junho de 2008, conhecida popularmente como “Lei Seca”, bem como a alteração apresentada na Lei nº 12.769, de 20 de dezembro de 2012. Ao final é realizada uma análise na qual os dados como aumento da frota de veículos, número de multas aplicadas pela PRF e quantidade de acidentes com vítimas fatais são comparados. Destas análises foi concluído que a “Lei Seca” vem contribuindo substancialmente para a redução dos acidentes com vítimas fatais numa queda de 79,12% no número de óbitos. / The main objective of this research is to verify if the current repressive policies in combating violence in traffic have been effective in reducing fatal crashes.
