GreenV8Machine Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ha, yup, polizia di stato. in the left hand lane of 3 on the way into venice, looking for parking. police car pulls up next to me "scusi, dov`e il parchegio per mi machina a venezia", he tells me im in the lane for via roma, and should be heading right to tronchetto because its cheaper, then tells me to cut across the 3 lanes at the intersection and go through the red light.
