A few blogs ago I wrote about the tough new laws which are being applied to cyclists here in Italia despite the continuing infringements committed by the idiosyncratic \u2018Italian Driver\u2019: Ancora una nuova legge da dimenticare<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

As a \u2018coda\u2019<\/strong> (sequel), I thought you might enjoy the following article which I read a few days ago in Il Corriere della Sera<\/strong>. If you can\u2019t manage to read it, don\u2019t worry because I\u2019ve translated it for you underneath.<\/span><\/p>\n

FIUMICINO – <\/strong><\/span>Per evitare le multe prendono a picconate l’autovelox: denunciati tre amici. <\/strong><\/span>Stanchi di ricevere multe per eccesso di velocit\u00e0, decidono di smontare l’autovelox a colpi di piccone. Forse ispirati da qualche pellicola, marted\u00ec pomeriggio tre amici (di 25, 31 e 32 anni) hanno pensato di danneggiare uno degli impianti per la rilevazione della velocit\u00e0 a Fiumicino, comune sul litorale alle porte di Roma. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SOSPESI A QUATTRO METRI DI ALTEZZA – I tre stavano cercando di smontare l’autovelox di via di Coccia di Morto, ma sono stati sorpresi dagli agenti della polizia che li ha trovati \u00abal lavoro\u00bb muniti di piccone. Arrampicati sul palo di sostegno, stavano cercando di danneggiare il dispositivo ottico dell’impianto, posizionato a ben 4 metri da terra. I tre italiani (due dei quali residenti a Fiumicino e uno a Pomezia) sono stati denunciati in stato di libert\u00e0 per danneggiamento aggravato. Il piccone utilizzato per commettere il reato \u00e8 stato posto sotto sequestro dai poliziotti.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

FIUMICINO \u2013 In order to avoid fines they assault the speed camera with a pickaxe: three friends charged. Tired of getting fined for breaking the speed limit, they decided to \u2018dismantle\u2019 the speed camera by hitting it with a pickaxe. On Tuesday afternoon, possibly inspired by a film, three friends (25, 31 and 32 years old) decided to damage one of the systems used to do speed checks in Fiumicino, a town on the coast close to Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n

SUSPENDED FOUR METERS UP IN THE AIR \u2013 The three were trying to dismantle the speed camera in Coccia di Morto street, but they were taken by surprise by the police who found them \u2018at work\u2019 armed with a pickaxe. Having climbed up the supporting pole, they were trying to damage the optical mechanism of the system, positioned a good four meters above ground level. The three Italians (two of whom are resident in Fiumicino and one in Pomezia) have been charged with causing damage under aggravating circumstances but have not been taken into custody. The pickaxe used to commit the crime has been seized by the police.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
