I read somewhere that the police ask car hire companies for details who was driving and then the car hire company charge you.
I also read that if they charhe taxes of 20% which they did in my case-then that is the fine all paid up.
I'm waiting for a reply as they look into it. Luckily the U.K. dept can also look into it if asked which helps as Italy is great but not the crazy way they run things.
Part of Europe means they can trace us via DVLA etc and get bayliffs on to you.
I just want it justified, appealed and then pay what is due.
If the traffic police send me mail-I could ignore/not sign for delivery as they have 360 days from the offence to find you and issue you a bill otherwise they bin it.
If it was Germany-it's 3 months!
We will see what is happening and report back for other peoples info.
