The debate on the Highway Code

Then, he pressed, underlining the benefits which is bringing the new Highway Code. “Have saved 43 lives compared to past years it makes me endure accusations and controversies with serenity. Italians are using more prudence“, he commented with satisfaction.
Previous attacks

I don’t think so, I’m not like that stupid“.
In his first attack on number one Carrocciothe one who started the controversy between the two on this matter, had said: “Minister Matteo Salvini has made sure for your good that if you have smoked a cane even a week earlier and get stopped you can be arrested immediately and comes to you retreat the patent for three years”, a nice and good attack that had warmed the spirits between the two and had triggered the back and forth that went on for weeks.
