Re: It's a bargain. It's vintage.

I find it strange that the asking prices for used cars seem so much closer to new car prices than in the UK. This is not a recent thing and is not affected by the very recent covid-related short-term...

Re: NEW DRIVING LAWS 2023

I was pleased to read another part of the proposed law, that electric scooters would have to have a licence plate and their riders would need a crash helmet and insurance. I expect this won't happen,...

Re: Carta di Identita Elletronica

What you have shown, e.g. "PIN .......0864" and "PUK ......1537" are the second halves of the identity card's PIN and PUK numbers. You will have received the first halves when you made your...

Re: GP access in Italy

Have you tried using the option to access Sanità Km 0 via a CIE (electronic ID) (assuming you have both such an ID card and a smart phone)? I find it swift and straightforward.

Re: Driving UK to Italy
