He took the Reggio Emilia ring road against the traffic.
The police withdrew his license with a further deduction of 10 points.
Fortunately, there were no accidents and no injuries.
It happened late yesterday afternoon when the operations room of the Police Headquarters received the report about an SUV, a Hyundai Tucson traveling in the opposite direction to the direction of travel on the SS722.
A steering wheel with emergency light signals intervened on the spot to stop the traffic and consequently the vehicle.
The driver, a 77-year-old Italian, told the police that he didn't notice the signs and made a mistake.
But it did not prevent him from being fined and withdrawn from his license.
