Do you want to wash your car but want to save? So you don’t want to spend on the car wash service? Well, pay close attention to all cases where it is forbidden to wash your car. Because the risk of sanctions could be around the corner.
Washing the car is a widespread practice among motorists, especially on weekends. But we must be very careful not to violate not only the Highway Code, but also the current environmental legislation in Italy.
Here are all the cases in which it is forbidden to wash your car, from public land to the courtyard
In fact, washing your car on a public road is potentially risky and punishable. First of all, because, using public water, you risk being reported for theft.
Furthermore, it is forbidden to wash your car on the public road if thewater ends up wetting the asphalt. The road surface would become slippery with serious risks to the safety not only of vehicles but also of pedestrians. Who, therefore, is pinched by the municipal police in the act of washing the car on the public road, he will suffer a penalty that can vary from a minimum of 105 euros to a maximum of 422 euros.
On private land, and think of your own courtyard, you can wash your car but always paying attention to the drains. The water used for washing, with or without soap, must absolutely not flow into rivers, canals or conduits, not only public but also private. In this case, the risk would be to dangerously contaminate the waters.
And if the courtyard, on the other hand, is condominium? Also in this case, the above rules apply, to which the provisions of the condominium regulation must be added. And the latter usually allows you to wash your car in the condominium courtyard.
Is it better not to use a car wash?
That said, is it really worth washing your car without resorting to a car wash? Maybe not. It is therefore preferable, then, not to take risks and to rely on an authorized car wash which, in relation to the purification and disposal of waste water, is certainly equipped with all the necessary systems and in accordance with the law.
