[quote=Anonymous]Second the driving in Italy is insane advice. I lived there for years and considered driving an exercise in vehicular terrorism. The Italian mindset behind the wheel is, "I am the only driver, and mine is the only car." The rules mean nothing. They will not stop when required. They will pass when it is dangerous. They will throw the car in reverse and back up on the Autostrada if they miss their exit. They will weave their scooters in and out of traffic and within inches of your car with no concerns. The rural roads have no shoulders and often have large old trees planted right at the edge of the tarmac, meaning there is no way you can pull over when the passing Fiat opposite you is coming is head-on. Ensure you are all buckled in, all the time. Do not play chicken or think the other driver will do the "right" thing. I love the Italian people and their country. But I hate them when they get behind the wheel. [/quote]
