Fine: when it will be notified. Cost of removal: immediately, in proportion to the size of the vehicle. And also the “availability”: 100 euros to be paid immediately. It can cost a lot, a lot, to park illegally on the streets of Cagliari on the weekend. Or after 8 pm. To the “ordinary” sums to be paid (report and cost of the tow truck) there is a heavy tax to be added if you want to avoid waiting until the following Monday to regain possession of your vehicle.
A blow introduced at the beginning of the year, it seems, to overcome the controversy. This happened: if the vehicle was removed on Saturday, and the driver noticed it after 8 pm, it was impossible to recover it before the beginning of the following week. This was because it emerged that the company in charge of the contract did not have enough staff to operate over the weekend in the vehicle depot on Viale Monastir. So the Municipality intervened (with Paolo Truzzu still as mayor): the car can be collected even at night, and on weekends, but it is necessary to pay 100 euros. Money that ends up in the pockets of the company for which, in February, the employees had protested. But nothing has changed. In any case, whoever wants their car must also pay this extra charge.
As happened to a motorist who yesterday had her car taken away from her car parked on Via Sassari, which becomes a pedestrian street in the evening: "They asked me for 100 euros," she explains, "I didn't know this possibility existed. I paid, but it seems like a crazy amount to me."
