POLEMICS - Luigi Casanova, mouthpiece of the association Mountain Wilderness laments: "no rule regulates and guardianship who has snowmobiles. Even though one considers the presence on the Italian mountains of at least 40mila vehicles to motor the Italian Code of the road ignores them. There are fifteen years that we speed up the Parliament to insert into the Code of the Road this vehicle”.
Without this passage, it is not possible for the authorities to impose any type of prohibition or regulation of the use.
