Lost in Florence, driving a hire car, I accidentally entered the ZTL twice: once at 1.07pm and again at 1.14pm.
Bizarrely, I duly received two fines!
I paid the first fine as, clearly, I had made a mistake. I emailed the authorities disputing the second fine but never received a reply.
Four years later (last week), I unexpectedly received a letter from a credit collection agency.
In short, is this a mistake by the city authorities? If I want to drive in central London, for example, I pay one charge that covers me for the entire day. It doesn't seem fair or reasonable to charge a tourist twice in 7 minutes!
I would appreciate any advice you could give.
Thanks,
Peter
