The conversation that took place between a traffic controller serving on a city street and a car driver, an elderly lady, is reminiscent of … an anecdote.
The use of snow chains is becoming mandatory due to Cyclone Barbara, which has already arrived in the country. As you know, the fine is 80 euros, and the traffic police have already started checking vehicles. Nevertheless, anecdotal situations are sometimes observed during inspections. Like, for example, the following epic dialogue between a traffic inspector and an elderly woman when he stopped her car.
Inspector: “Do you have snow chains?”
Old woman: “I’m going to the market, my child…”.
Inspector: “Do you know that snow chains must be in the car from October to April, and a fine of 40 euros is due for their absence?”
Elderly woman: “When I get there (To the market), I’ll call to bring them to me.
Inspector: “Do you know what this is (lack of chains) is there a penalty?”.
Elderly woman: “Yes, I have them at home!”.
Inspector: “I’m not telling you to equip your car with them now! But you need to have them in the trunk, because they may be needed at any time!”.
