You come over a hill, and there they are.
I saw one driver just drive straight on without stopping and within one minute his car did a bellyflop on the road.....tyres flailing in the wind, no high speed car chase or anything dramatic as that...a sting across the road.
If the Idiot driver thinks he can escape by going on the motorway....wrong......at the payage...yet another troop of Guardia.
This method of policing is not to earn money for the coffers of the government but to prevent these idiots taking to the road.

Seems like reasonable policing to me. If the Police want to stop you for a roadside check for whatever reason and the motorist doesn’t comply, then said motorist has to live with the consequence of their actions.
