US tourist, 43, fined $500 for driving Ferrari into Florence piazza

The car had Swiss registration. It’s unclear if he was the owner of the car or how he got it in Italy. The man was fined 470 euros, or approximately $506, on the spot after a police check showed he didn’t have the right licensing to drive anywhere in Italy, much less the historic piazza. Florence authorities said in a statement that the man immediately paid off the fine. ‘Checks revealed that the 43-year-old driver had an American driving license that did not comply with international conventions and did not have an international driving permit or official translation,’ they said. ‘A report was taken for parking in the pedestrian area, driving against the direction and having non-compliant foreign license, the fine was a total of 470 euros, which he paid directly to the agents.’ Read the full story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11887843/US-tourist-43-fined-500-driving-flashy-Ferrari-historic-Florence-without-proper-license.html?ito=msngallery
