On a dirt road that cannot be called such, with a discolored and badly worn sign that you don't even notice, the indigestible fines. Those are quite visible. People who have the misfortune of choosing the coast of San Vero for their holidays find them abundantly on the windscreens of their cars.
For example, some vacationers are literally enraged against the traffic policemen of the Municipality of San Vero Milis who punctually arrive at the weekend in search of undisciplined licensed drivers.
«Especially on Sundays - Flavio Lai angrily denounces everyone on behalf of everyone - panic is sown among the residents and patrons of the Mika Beach Club kiosk, in the seaside village of Su Crastu Biancu , invoking respect for the code in an area where practically a road does not even exist".
«Probable therefore - he adds - that given the impossibility of making an area equipped with parking and paid services, where dust and mistral are the masters, it will be easier to raise cash and implement the compulsory withdrawal from the pockets of those people, who, with so many sacrifices in this moment of general crisis, decide to make the area's economy run by passing through those parts. The cars were hit for failing to respect - Lai ironically highlights - the very visible and brand new road sign that appears nearby ».
What does Mayor Luigi Tedeschi answer? Contacted several times, for now, he preferred not to answer, but there is no doubt that the phenomenon of wild fines without offering any service is irritating many. Not a new situation, however, in these parts.
Some time ago, tourists annoyed by the continuous fines in Sa Mesa Longa had invested the problem with the committee that urged the reopening to traffic of the seafront between Mandriola and Putzu Idu to understand if there were the grounds for carrying out a legal action against the Municipality.
Several motorists were fined 100 euros under the ban on parking on the dunes. In that case the crux of the dispute was whether the cars were seriously on the dunes and above all if the signs signaled their presence. Other stories, but the fines galore, those continue to stand the test of time.
