What a racket!! I'm going to appeal on the grounds that I did not receive notice within 360 days of offense. I've been complaining since my first visit in 1969 about how the national pastime of Italians is ripping off tourists. This may have been the last opportunity for them to get me. It's a fabulous country but they need to rid themselves of the defective gene they are born with - larceny in the heart.

We visit Italy frequently, but that fine was the LAST Euro that the city of Torino will ever receive from me. Enforcement for revenue purposes is completely wrong and should not be legal anywhere in the world. Regards, James C.

The T-Red system is used to monitor traffic lights and photographs those who pass when the light is red.The Tutor system, which is used to monitor average speeds over longer tracts of roads, uses infra red sensors. This means that the Tutor cameras are better able to photograph registration plates in total darkness than in full daylight apparently.In summary, the answer is probably yes, in that infra red systems are used in traffic monitoring cameras in Italy to assist in conditions of low light but not only, and the cameras must be sensitive to infra red light for them to work.Thanks for visiting.Kind regards,Alex Hi reizen naar italie,

The T-Red system employs an LED infra red illumination system to help read vehicle registration plates apparently – this means the cameras must be receptive to infra red light. The T-Red system is used to monitor traffic lights and photographs those who pass when the light is red.

The Tutor system, which is used to monitor average speeds over longer tracts of roads, uses infra red sensors. This means that the Tutor cameras are better able to photograph registration plates in total darkness than in full daylight apparently.

In summary, the answer is probably yes, in that infra red systems are used in traffic monitoring cameras in Italy to assist in conditions of low light but not only, and the cameras must be sensitive to infra red light for them to work.

Thanks for visiting.

Kind regards,
