You risk a €422 fine if you make a very specific mistake that unfortunately we are all used to making when we are driving.
Bad habits are common and unfortunately we know that in any area and context are uprooted with great difficulty.
Some more, some less have behaviors that are generally underestimated but which can also be quite serious enough to lead to very high fines and incredibly dangerous consequences.
The most common mistakes made by motorists and motorcyclists
In the highway code there are rules governing the driving of all vehicles, which not everyone knows. Then of course there are also well-informed motorists who choose not to respect them on purpose, as a matter of practicality.
Breaking these rules entails sanctions that are far from light, but still proportionate to the violation committed. Observing the rules of the highway code and civility, in all situations and under any condition, is essential to ensure that you are on the right side both in the event of checks carried out by the police and in the event of road accidents.
Here’s what article 15 of the highway code says and what are the rules of conduct to be respected
Article 15 of the Highway Code contains rules of conduct that all motorists and motorcyclists are required to respect. This article concerns the prohibition of damaging or ruining signs, dumping waste around polluting the environment, to damage public works or plants.
When they are driving, many people take the opportunity to throw away the waste both that they have at home, whole bags that litter the environment, and small things such as chewing gum, handkerchiefs and so on that end up along the roadside.
Not only does this pollute the environment, but it can also pose a risk to other motorists or pedestrians present. Anyone who throws objects out of the window risks injuring pedestrians or motorcyclists.
For example, with a cigarette butt, among other things, a fire can also be caused. While any object of pismall size it transformsupon reaching a certain speed, into a small bullet that hurts.
The fines for such violations are very steep and range from €105 to €422. For this reason, before making such a mistake it is advisable to think carefully not to having to shell out a lot of money for nothing.
