People flashed time and time again: 28,000 euros punishment

The Italian Andrea Ferretto regularly drove a radar machine in Northern -Italy. “I drove there two months a day, back and in the evening in the morning,” he told Ilnazional News Portal. He noticed much too late that a radar machine had been set up there, Ferretto said, who had worked temporarily for a security company in the supermarket at this time.

And the 40-year-old complained: “The speed camera is practically in half a curve and is hidden behind a three-meter high hedge.” Ferretto said he never noticed that he had been tapped in the radar trap. “It may happen that you get three or four penalties in six months – I also make mistakes,” he admitted. “But you can’t tell me that I was flashed every day and admitted 100 penalties in six months.”

Ferretto has doubts that the penalties are legal. Because, according to a judgment of the Italian court of the court, radar devices must be clearly visible and previously announced. That was not the case here. He now demands that the device will be placed elsewhere. “My goal is to warn others. I don’t want others to happen the same as I,” said the Italian.

Italians hopes to understand the authorities
The Italian was flashed in 2021 and the ticket fluttered in the house in 2022 and 2023. He traveled a lot and the letters often thought it was late, Ferretto said. Moreover, he initially put some aside until at some point he received mail from the provincial administration. She sent him a document with all violations and a fine of 28,000 euros.

Ferretto’s lawyer can no longer help him: it is legally too late for the objections. Ferretto earns 1100 euros per month. “Now we have to see how we can start paying,” he said. He hopes that the authorities will understand and reduce the punishment.
