House approves Salvini's Highway Code reform. Bill got the green light with 163 votes in favor and 107 against and now moves to the Senate.
Critics have said it will decrease road safety rather than increase it. The bill stiffens the penalties for using mobile phones at the wheel, with driving bans of between 15 days and two months and ends up at 1,697 euros. It will be possible for speeding ends to go up as high as 1,084 euros and people who break the speed limit inside cities twice a year or more face having their license suspended for 15 to 30 days.
