The postman rings the intercom, but no package is expected. Instead, it is the most feared one green envelope which contains a fine for passing thespeed cameras with a few km/h too many. But from November 30th By 2025, Italian motorists will be able to have one more hope: only fines arising from will be valid equipment regularly surveyed on the platform of Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportwhile those not registered must be turned off and sanctions already issued may be cancelled.
How the new census works

If you believe that a fine is suspicious, the first step is to check the report received: they must appear freshman of the device, the modelthe details of the MIT decree, that is number And dateand thelocation exact with indications on street, kilometer And direction. All elements mandatory by law which are often not verified in the rush to take advantage of the 30% discount valid for the first 5 days from notification.
