In the province of Massa-Carrara, there is a class of drivers with undisputed talent and loyalty to respecting the highway code that has distinguished them over the years. Avoiding serious sanctions such as the revocation of their driving licence, they were the honored protagonists of the “Festival of driving pioneers” at the provincial headquarters of‘Automobile Club Massa Carrara.
