Autostrada - Driving through the Telepass gate
Discussion
Morning all,
Thought I'd ask on here as I'm sure I can't be the only person to have done this....
Last week, when joining the motorway in Modena, I ended up going through the Telepass booth of the toll, so didnt get a ticket. When I got off the autostrada, I explained this and the lady charged me the same I paid when I headed south. She also gave me some paperwork but didnt say any more. My italian isnt great, but I suspect its a fine - if so, I'd like to pay it before it gets more expensive.
Has anyone else done this and been fined or was the payment I made on the day sufficient?

Hope so Onno! 
I've got some bumph which shows an additional (handwritten) amount, but I really dont know if its saying "you owe us this" - its not at all clear! Also, its only Euro 50-odd so I'd have paid it there an then if she's asked....I want to make sure it doesnt become a couple of hundred quid a few months down the line.

... can you read the handwriting and any of the printed words?
If so, you could scan the whole thing and post the image here and let someone translate it for you - my o/h is a fluent Italian speaker and she'll be able let you know whether you'll be allowed back in to Italy next time you go should you not pay the 'fine'?
The barrier was up....initially, I thought "ah, must be free this time of day" and carried on, but then saw the barrier was down and someone was getting a ticket in the next lane as I passed through.
I paid 6 Euro 80 or so.
As for the suggestion of scanning and uploading, I'll try to do that later in the week - thanks for the kind offer!
