Quote:I've been to Italy. Trust me, you do NOT want to drive there.Yes you do. Driving in Italy is high adventure, and great fun, if you get with the program and embrace the madness. I drove there for three years, in parts of Italy where many stop lights were suggestions . . . in the main, in and around Naples.
I miss it. Driving there kept you on your toes.
Quote: In Naples, if a car fits there, it's a lane of traffic. And a gas pedal is generally treated as if it were a light switch. On or off. I saw cases of things like people backing off an on ramp when they realized it wasn't where they wanted to go (making people behind them get out of their way) and people driving with 2 wheels on the sidewalk and 2 on the road if it meant getting a few carlengths ahead in city traffic.Yeah, the nostalgia for the halcyon days of driving in Bella Napoli is killin' me here. Need to go and get a Guinness to calm down.
