Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Ana Patr\u00edcia, I received a fine in Italy last year … do I have to pay it?” – well, let’s take one\u00a0 thing at a time! Before thinking about not paying the fine, let’s talk a little bit; I don’t want to lecture anyone, after all we are adults and aware of our actions. We all have our free will, our ethics, our principles and our character. So, paying or not, is beyond paying a few euros! We know that every action generates a reaction, and – even if you did not want to – you received a fine, my suggestion: bear the burden and pay it!<\/p>\n

My Sugestion…<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you do not pay the fine and intend to return to Italy soon, it is important to be aware that you may not be able to rent a car,<\/strong> for example, since the fine is in the system of both the police and the rental companies. Of course, it will appear that there is a fine in your name that has not been paid and, therefore, you will not find a rental company that accepts the risk of receiving another fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dont’ forget to check our section about travelling by car in Italy!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In article 260 of the Italian Highway Code, you will find the following information: <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe authorities have a period of 360 days to send the notification of a fine to the home of drivers residing in other countries<\/strong>\u201d, that is, it takes time, but it arrives! You can be sure! Include in this period also, a possible stoppage of post offices, atypical events (such as closed airports), etc. – as the period may change due to force majeure.\u00a0Well, let’s get straight to the point:<\/strong><\/p>\n

After how long does a fine expire?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After five years from the date the infraction was registered,<\/strong> but it is IMPORTANT<\/strong> that you know that the municipality responsible for issuing the fine can appeal and collect it in court with interest and monetary correction! Municipalities are entitled to charge for alleged violations even after the fine has expired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also appeal if you receive a fine that you do not recognize, only if there is no license plate photographed, otherwise, there is nothing to discuss, they are irreducible.<\/p>\n

Good to know …<\/strong><\/h4>\n
