Italy: drastically stricter penalties for traffic offenders

The Italians are “traditionally” not so zimperlich in the handling of traffic offenders, the reins have now been attracted again. Since the beginning of August already in force. Examples: Speed overruns: 40-60 km/h too much: Bus fee 370 – 1548 Euro + driving license withdrawal 3-6 months (previously 1-6 months, the withdrawal of the driving license applies to holidaymakers for the time of the holiday in Italy). 60 km/h or more: 500 – 2000 Euro, driving license away for 6-12 months. Repetitive offenders will get rid of the driver’s license for 1-3 months. The driver’s license will be right at the wheel of alcohol: if you are caught with 0.5 – 0.8 promilles, you will pay 500 – 2000 euros, go into construction for up to one month and get rid of your driver’s license for 3-6 months. At 0.8 – 1.5 promilles it will cost 800 – 3200 euros, the prison visit will take up to three months and the driver’s license will not be seen again for 6-12 months. And who thinks with more than 1.5 P It may be necessary to talk to his bank: 1500 – 6000 euros are due. Furthermore, you should say goodbye to your neighbours up to half a year, because you spend this period behind Swedish curtains. To pay off the up to 6000 euros you can probably give your car in payment immediately because you no longer need it any more 1-2 years, as long as the driver’s license is gone. The opinions about such measures may differ far Against the background of the excessive speed and alcohol are the most common causes of accidents in Germany and thus a few thousand people lose their lives each year (no matter if innocent or not), hundreds of thousands are injured and tens of thousands become invalids I have for a long time no longer understood the cymbal attitude of the legislator in the punishment of such offences. But seems to be the price that the public for the free In this context, the motto “no tolerance” is too harsh? At least as long as you are not affected as a member of your family yet? Would means of transport such as aircraft, shipping or railways demand such sacrifices in Germany year after year, no one would be able to enter. What do you think about it: to do so or to continue as before? Is there a clear adjustment to the top (to at least partially) necessary? Ciao!
