Hello All

Has anyone has had dealing with being flashed in a rental car whiles in Italy?

I was sent a nice letter however the photo evidence only show a car I may have been driving is not conclusive.
The photos I have found on the web where the alleged infraction happen are different from the one sent so I have requested the geographical position of the camera and evidence of the reduced speed.

How does the appeal system works in Italy? Similar to the UK, i.e innocent until proven guilty?
How long does it takes for an appeal to happen?

If I am at fault I will pay no issue, however the only evidence provided show a car on a road lashed at 123kph

The car was the one I was using at the time.
What bugs me is the picture they send is different from the one on Google Map.
The pictures are taken a bit more than 2 month apart so it is impossible the road was modified to extend.

Official looking paper work with a picture of the car.

There are no phone number on the paperwork, it's all done over the interweb

Thanks all

I'm using the old belt and braces thing...

E-mail the hire car company, the Italian Tourist board, and my wife has contacted some of her colleague.

I will give an update when I know for sure what happened
