  • Italy’s proposed updated Road Code schedule would raise the fine for driving without mandatory motor insurance from €866 to €1,000.
  • The penalty for violating right-of-way rules during merging, reversing or turning would increase from €42 to €80.
  • The Transport Ministry says 85 newly sanctioned violations account for 11% of the total, while fines overall would decline by 7%.

The fine for violating Italy’s mandatory motor insurance requirement would rise from €866 to €1,000 under an updated Road Code penalty schedule sent to organizations involved in the consultation.

The Transport Ministry also proposes increasing the fine for violating right-of-way rules during merging, reversing or making a U-turn. That penalty would rise from €42 to €80.

The revised table adds specific penalties for 85 violations that currently have no dedicated sanction in the code. They represent 11% of all cases, according to the ministry.

The new penalties include a fine rising from €250 to €1,000 for lighting fires near a road. Riding an electric scooter in a way that obstructs pedestrians would carry a fine of €40 to €160. The same range would apply to two- or three-wheeled vehicles driven on a sidewalk.

Despite the increases in several categories, the ministry says fines overall would fall by 7%. The updated schedule remains part of consultations involving the ministry, operators and industry associations.
