Pay them! we do...but you wont obviously...
In Italy is NOT allowed to have the speed you like..the fact that some other person was running DONT allow you to do...people get bills here ..and pay it!! If you dont we have to pay YOUR ticket because it will go on the PUBLIC bills...so i have to pay your ticket only because you are an arrogant one?What about if i go in Us and i dont?...Before put the thumbs down like childrend...think about this!

Let's put it this way! In August 05 I got a parking ticket in Verona. In august 06, I got a letter from the chief of police in Verona requesting payment. they went through Hertz to get the name, address, license number, etc. The letter mentioned what the fine would be etc.if I paid the amount requested and what the penalties would be if I did not..

I contacted my Italian cousins about what happens if I did not pay the fine. Their (all three of them) told me that Italian police are extremely cruel in tracking down those who do not pay the fines ---- to the extent of notifying rental companies about the unpaid fine(s). they advised me to pay it because If I didn't and came back some time later (six months or more), there would be a notification by the autoleggio companies that the fine was due and to not rent the car until the fine had been collected. The decision to Pay or Not to Pay is yours. Good luck. BTW, conversion to Euros and having a bank draft to the italian police agency that gave you the ticket will definitely be a hell of a lot more than 173 Euros. Probably about double after all the banks fees. Again, good luck!

If you ever plan on renting a car from Hertz again in your lifetime...pay the fines, if not hertz will have to pay them and you will be blacklisted. Its easier and less hassles to just pay the fines. When in Rome....they are really cracking down and speeding..trust me I have gotten quite a few lately. The fine if not paid within 60 days also almost doubles!!

The others are right, you need to pay these tickets. This may not only affect your ability to rent cars in the future. With more and more records available electronically, this can show up in the computer when you try to enter the country and you might be denied admission.

This should not affect your US records since there is no reciprocity treaty between Italy and the various States. If you were to move here, your US license would not be transferable - you'd have to go through the full process of obtaining an Italian license from scratch.

Were you stopped and given the ticket? Or did these appear in the mail somehow for example from video monitoring. How fast were you going?
