So I pre-programmed routes in google maps to avoid toll roads. But, in my wisdom I decided to let COMAND do the work on one of the journey legs from Luxembourg to Innsbruck. I knew from my efforts that the last few miles could be on a motorway which google thought was a tool road, but there was a parallel A road which I planned to use.
I thought that if I set COMAND to “dynamic” and to “avoid toll roads” it may help us navigate around any bad congestion.
So the journey went ok, but the last few miles it took us onto the A12 motorway. I was a little concerned as I had not bought the Austrian vignette (approx €10) but arrived ok and assumed that like in France some motorways could be toll free.
The following morning set off for Florence via the Stelvio Pass. Knew that we would use Italian motorways & pay the tolls so split the journey in 2, with the first part to Stelvio Pass as “toll free”. COMAND started us off on the A12 so again assumed that section of motorway was toll free.
As we left the motorway we were flagged down and told that we should have the vignette to use their motorways. Tried explaining that we were following sat nav which was set to “toll free”. That cut no ice and they handed out a €110 penalty notice to be paid on the spot
Thanks COMAND
