Il parere di Sandro Bottega su codice della strada e consumo moderato di alcol

🚨 On December 14, 2024, Italy enforced stricter road traffic laws, including heightened penalties for driving with blood alcohol levels between 0.5 and 0.8 grams per liter, carrying fines up to €2,170 and license suspension for 3 to 6 months.
