President Giorgio Capuis on Thursday said he is "outraged" over
a video posted on Facebook by a 25-year-old hit-and-run driver
who killed a 79-year-old retiree at the weekend.
In the video which the 25-year-old is shown driving with
her feet on the steering wheel as she holds a bottle in her
hand.
The driver, a Romanian woman, spent two days in jail
following the hit and run that killed Gino Stevanato last
Sunday, and was issued a restrictive order which forbids her
from traveling outside of Noale, the town where she lives.
At the time of the accident she was driving without a
license, as it had been revoked two years ago, in an SUV that a
friend had lent her.
"Lack of respect for the most basic rules of the road by
whoever drives a car must be stopped with absolute resolve, even
more so when the person in question has killed someone," Capuis
said.
"Whoever makes themselves the star in behavior that verges
on madness and doesn't respect the rules, going so far as to
kill, must be stopped".
