Re: making a 3-point turn in Napoli
I saw it this am on my fb page. Typical 21st. century street theatre in Naples. Fantozzi couldn't have made it up. Then I thought '..there, but for the grace of God'
ciao for now,

Such a tiny little car as well. Even I can manoeuver better than that.

Sadly it was a fake, a commercial part of a safe driving campaign for ACI. In the real world, in such a situation the driver would have been probably covered with insults and then ripped apart by a ferocious mob.

Re: making a 3-point turn in Napoli
There were a lot of young men watching, they could easily have lifted up one end of the little car and swung it around.
Some years ago I saw a really minor road accident in a small side street in Naples, and the crowd was much the same, noisy and unhelpful.

Re: making a 3-point turn in Napoli
.... Four or five friends and me picked up the front end of a Morris Minor (complete with engine) when I was at high school.(Sorry Aries, I just saw your post.
You are certainly correct.)
