I KNOW YOU'VE received numerous reports of driving tickets in Italy, but I thought I'd add ours.
We traveled to Italy in March 2007 and rented a car in Florence. While driving through the city, we took a wrong turn and ended up in a restricted traffic area.
About a week ago, we received a notice in the mail from the Firenze Police for that incident, charging us about $140. That was the first notice we had received. We were directed to a Web site where we could pay by credit card.
It's nice to know we're not alone on this issue, but it seems a harsh lesson to learn as tourists who had already spent a good deal of money there.
