A 97-year-old Italian woman has received about 900 traffic fines for driving a Ferrari and other flash cars around the historic centre of Rome without the necessary permit. The only catch? She has never learnt to drive, let alone owned a car.
Driving to work every day, I see lots of people who've never learned to drive...
"That's it. I've had enough of traffic policemen coming to my house every day with a pile of fines for cars I know absolutely nothing about," news agency Ansa quoted her as saying. The unnamed woman began receiving fines a few months ago for a motorbike and six cars, including a Ferrari and two BMWs. The mystery was finally solved when Rome police detained three men for fraudulently registering the vehicles in the pensioner's name. |
