Whilst on holiday last year in Sardinia I hired a couple of scooters on two separate days, from a hire company in Alghero. Last week I received a summons (all in English) from the Comando di Polizia Municipale, Alghero for a 'Violation of the Highway Code' claiming that I had 'Entered Illegally a Restricted Traffic Area'. There is an infraction number and date of infraction and the details of the vehicle - all correct for last October 2008. On the reverse of the document are details of how to pay the 110.25 Euro fine. Yesterday I received another letter from them for the other scooter I hired a couple of days later with exactly the same details and fine. I was certainly not aware at the time that I had done anything wrong - indeed watching the Italians on their scooters, there just don't seem to be any laws at all. I am not sure whether this is a hoax - should I pay these fines or query them further do you think? I would be most grateful for your help.
