Transport Minister Danilo
Toninelli said Thursday that a measure has been inserted into
the government's security decree banning people who have been
residing in Italy from over 60 days from driving vehicles with
foreign license plates.
He noted that, though the measure features some exceptions,
it seeks to stop people using cars with foreign license plates
to avoid paying taxes, insurance and fines.
"Those that violate the ban will have to pay a high fine and,
if they do not register the vehicle here, their cars may be
confiscated," he said in a statement.
He added that he was "very proud of this measure, which tries
to curb an unfair practice that is unfortunately very common and
that hurts us all by not paying taxes".
