New Pegasus helicopter for Galicia in May, out of a total of four more

For those who do not yet know the Pegasus, it is a revenue-raising invention of the DGT to enforce speeding offences, thanks to its two cameras: one panoramic camera that tracks and measures speed, and another with a telephoto lens that allows the license plates to be seen in detail.

Well, the DGT is going to add four new Pegasus helicopters, which join the conventional helicopters that already enforce certain offences. One of them has been confirmed to arrive in Galician territory, specifically at Alvedro, where it will have its operations base from May.

To the four new ones announced, add a latest addition from a few days ago, plus the Pegasus the DGT already had. In other words, they are not sparing resources in order to hunt monitor from the air, since right now two Pegasus aircraft are operating and, added to the four mentioned, there will be six in total monitoring from the air.

These aircraft have the capacity to measure speeds of up to 300 km/h, and their operations will focus on the conventional road network.
