The Italian parliament has ratified a law amendment raising the Autostrade’s speed limit to 150km/h.
Traditionally the nation fabled for its supercars (Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani and Lamborghini) had enforced a 130km/h ceiling on its freeway network.
Italian parliamentary members have now sanctioned a change that should allow certain portions of the Autostrade to become 150km/h zones.
Part of the new set of Italian transportation policies voted into action is a very strict new drinking and driving law.
Stipulations require that drivers between the ages of 18 and 21 (and all bus, taxi or commercial truck drivers) are not allowed to have any traceable amount of blood alcohol when driving.
Are these Italian transport policy measures prudent though?
