My front numberplate has fallen off on the autostrada. I had thought that it would be a matter of simply buying a new plate, producing a pile of paperwork to support the purchase. But no, I am informed by the Motorizzazione Civile that I have to re-register the car, "€135, please",!
Anyone else come across this? Is there a work-around?
(I have made a denuncia, just in case road-maintenance find it and do the decent thing.)

I know that you can't have a copy of number plates made. As you said, the car needs to be re-registered. I don't know the cost, but €135 sounds about right because today we found out that it costs almost €100 in 'bolli' and state 'versamenti' to demolish an Italian car.

no work around.

Don't try to just get one made, you will get a huge fine.

135 seems quite good to me. For a ancient piaggio I paid close on 200.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now wiser, but sadder.

Yep, forget Halfords where you can have one made while you wait and costs peanuts comparing to what they want here....

I scrapped the car. It was cheaper...
