Quote:I've been to Italy. Trust me, you do NOT want to drive there.
If you choose to, have good insurance. I along with a few other people watched a motorist plow into a parked car at reasonable speed, then pull out and drive away with pieces of his car dragging and sparking on the ground. The locals seemed relatively unphased by this. While my family was slackjawed, the locals seemed to turn to see what the noise was, then go back to what they were doing a second later.
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.
Car insurance in Napoli is also twice as expensive as in other cities. When I lived in Italy I really hated the traffic there. But now in the north even I get annoyed by the slow driving people. Many Italians are technically good drivers though...because they have to.....you have to expect everything.....because it will happen there.
The thing I am scared of regarding the Lamborghini is the poor quality of the roads in the south......such a low car probably doesnt react to well on holes in the road.
