Speeding fines in Italy, again, and Pisa…

It’s official, the article in the Telegraph I read while I was in the UK would seem to indicate that Euro traffic fines will shortly be with us. The same article is available on-line here.  Although this change comes into effect in March 2007, as some who have read this blog will have noticed, the UK DVLA has already been giving out the addresses of offenders to the Italian authorities so they can send victims a nice little fine.

For some not exactly clear reason a number of people who have left comments on my blog have been ending up with fines for traffic offences whilst driving through Pisa.  If you happen to find yourself there in the near future, watch out, because the area into which certain cars are not allowed does not seem to be well signposted.

Rambling on About Happenings in Italy

Writers block? No. Not a problem for me generally. Quite the opposite. I start tapping away thinking that around five hundred words or so will do, and end up writing over a thousand. Sorry about that. Anyway this evening, actually it’s just past midnight, I’m going to ramble. Italy will be at the centre of the rambling, as usual.
