The new Highway Code lands today before the Council of Ministers. Matteo Salvini, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, has completed the drafting of the text after lengthy discussions with trade associations, experts and businesses.
The reform aims to reduce sanctions overall, while maintaining a hard line against the most dangerous driving behaviours.
According to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, fines should serve “a deterrent rather than a punitive function,” while stricter measures are planned for the most serious violations, with the goal of improving safety for drivers and other road users.
