(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 29 - A foreign motorist was stopped by police Sunday night after making a U-turn on Italy's main north-south A motorway near VIterbo north of Rome.
    The man has been charged with endangering other drivers.
    His driving license was confiscated, he was fined 8,000 euros and his car sequestered for three months.

    It reportedly told him to turn around as soon as possible.
    The man was heading for the Italian capital when he made the dangerous manoeuvre.
    He was captured on surveillance cameras.
    "In the face of these images there are no words to express the contempt of all those who, because of such absurd conduct, are still grieving for the loss of their loved ones," said traffic police commander Paolo Maria Pomponio. (ANSA).
