The news on Italian mobility unfortunately continues to deal with increasingly frequent cases of motorists taking the motorway in the wrong direction and they travel several tens of kilometers in the forbidden direction of travel, thus putting at risk not only their own lives but also that of other motorists. The latest episode of this kind occurred on the A1 from Rioveggio to Sasso Marconi towards Bologna, where a woman at the wheel of her car traveled 20 kilometers in the wrong direction before being stopped by the police.
The same police forces who were also hit by the motorist. In fact, Il Resto del Carlino says that, after being alerted by other motorists, the Polstrada patrols have implemented a maneuver of “safety car“With the aim of slowing down the flow of vehicles and consequently decreasing the probability that the car of the woman driving in the wrong direction would create accidents with the cars moving in the correct direction: the accident eventually occurred but precisely with the agents of the Polstrada, since the woman’s race stopped inside the “Monte Mario” tunnel against a police car, due to a rear-end collision that also caused minor injuries to two policemen. In short, the Polstrada was sure to be able to stop this crazy motorist but she certainly didn’t think she had to do it this way.
On balance, the important thing is that the dangerous 64-year-old driver residing in Germany was intercepted before someone was seriously hurt: against him the police have contested a series of violations of the Highway Code for more than 2,900 euros administrative penalties and 18 points deducted from the driving license, in addition to reporting to the Prefecture for the inhibition of driving in Italy and the administrative detention of the car for a period of three months.
