So who's a naughty boy then!!

So it would appear ... that if you go through a Auto Strata tole gate and don't get a little ticket that one can get into a little bit of trouble. Opp's ... perhaps not totally paying attention and went through the "Reservo Ticketto Line" and well let's just say getting off the other end of the auto strata without a ticket was as if I was trying to smuggle illegal alien into the country!!! - it was like a full on interrogation minus the cavity and strip search! Oh well, maybe we'll have to leave that sort of fun for another day!!!

So for my crime I had to go in person to "PUNTOblu" and put forward my case. In my defence I told the lovely little man that I have been in Italy for the past 2 months and have been very good and have always gone into the correct line ... but today ... "is not possible" said in my best Italian! the traffic was so heavy and I sort of got pushed into the far right line and before I knew it there I was, in the auto line with the boom gate closed in front of me and the traffic backing up and tooting behind me ... and well then I thought just press the RED button and the gate opened, it was like magic, but no tickets popped out ... opp's I thought I will just have to move out of the way or these people are going to run me over.

Anyway after a bit more discussion with the second interrogator! I was pardoned for my crime and not fined and now I have a cute little note in Italian to say don't do it again.
