In Verona two 23-year-olds were killed by another car in a head-on collision. The other car was on the wrong side of the road and was driven by a person of Romanian origin who was under the influence of alcohol. He was released the next day.In Rome on Sunday, a car driven by an Italian who was drunk, went onto the Pontina {road SS 148 leading into Rome} in the wrong direction and caused 3 deaths.

In Catania 4 young people are dead as a result of a Cuban citizen travelling in the wrong lane.
Again in Verona a Mercedes, while doing a U turn, killed a young married couple on a motorbike.
The number of road accidents causing the death of one or more people in Italy is horrifying. The cause of these deaths is often the irresponsible attitude of a driver. I believe that the penalties currently being handed out should be made more severe and in really serious cases like those mentioned here, charges of multiple aggravated homicide should be brought.
Accidents are often caused by alcohol. Checks are rare, almost inexistent. They need to be tightened up with the confiscation of the driving licence for those who give positive results. Road traffic accidents in Italy cause thousands of deaths. It’s a war. Now is the time to face up to this problem openly. No compromise.
