In Italy, allowed to drive at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour

The Italian government introduced amendments to the rules of the road, which come into force on Friday, July 30. One of the main innovations is to increase the maximum speed on highways from 130 to 150 kilometers per hour. Previously, road services in exceptional circumstances be allowed to raise the rate to that level, but only if the highway has at least four lanes in each direction and is equipped with speed cameras.

In addition, have been changed and fines for speeding. Now for the violation of the limit of 10 kilometers per hour would have to pay 155 euros for speeding in the 40-60 kilometers an hour a fine of 500 euros (130 euros more than previously) and deprivation of rights for a period of one to three months. Exceeding the maximum speed of more than 60 miles per hour will be punished by a fine of 779 euros (229 euros for longer), and deprivation of driving license for a period of six months to a year.

In addition, for Italian drivers under 21 years of the new edition of traffic rules repeal of the allowable blood alcohol content - 0,5 per mille. The same rule also applies to professional drivers - truck drivers, taxi drivers and drivers of public transport.
