Italian speeding fines

[AndrewD]

Has anybody with Swiss plates actually received a fine if they have been speeding on the Italian autostrade? A friend in my car might have wandered over the limit recently, in the sections where they have average speed systems with automatic plate recognition.

Seems to me that the system would not automatically recognise Swiss plates so it would have to be handled manually, and then the Italians would have to contact Switzerland. Does this actually happen, anybody know?

Annoyed with of course, but with some crazy traffic, people tailgating, etc, they just wanted to stay clear of lunatics with mobile phone cameras hanging out of windows.

Many thanks Rainer. We will have to visit your lovely part of the world before the end of the so-called summer. I hear you have some great driving roads!
