'ello chaps,

Way back in Feb. I was in Italy with some colleagues and we hired a car. There were two of us as named drivers and we took turns to drive.

Now, it would appear that a nice radar thing sent us a souveneir photo along with a load of Italian legalese, the basic premise of which seems to be that we were speeding (132km/h on what was either a dual carriageway or motorway - dunno which?)

Anyway, we're happy to pay the fine (fair cop and all that), but genuinely have no way of knowing who was driving at the time?

It doesn't help that neither of us speak a word of Italian

So, do we just pay the fine using the pre-paid envelope (and no licence) and wait and see, or are the feds gonna lock us up when we inevitably next have to go to Italia?

Cheers
