Re: Crazy Italian drivers
Apart from finding him funny, intelligent, and a breath of fresh air in this PC world. He is also my near-doppelganger - a South Yorkshireman, from about 30 miles from my home town (city), who is 6'5", with curly hair and an interest in cars; he's a few years older than me. At one time I lived just a couple of miles from his home when we both lived in London.
What is not to like about him?

I now know that most Ferraris and maseratis are for export... otherwise they would be wrecked... almost everyone drives Fiat... ! (disposable)...

Re: Crazy Italian drivers
When I first came to Italy in 1972 I was driving a shiny red E-Type. On the the then twisty "motorway" from Milan to Genova I was subjected to uncountable overtaking attempts by various little Fiats on the downhill bits.

Re: Crazy Italian drivers
I shall not rest until my campaign for the Correct use of Indicators Especially on Roundabouts is finally over.
..not to mention giving way when coming onto one .. One b**t**d cut me up the other day cos he just drove straight onto the roundabout without stopping ... and he maintained he was right of course (with appropriate gestures)

Re: Crazy Italian drivers
Indicators used at roundabouts are my pet peeve. I have to go round a roundabout every morning that has 5 roads going onto it. I sit there for ages as it looks like most of the cars should be going straight passed me, but 9 out of 10 of them drive around so that they're passing in front of me and without a hint of an indicator that they are actually going around.

Re: Crazy Italian drivers
This may sound like flannel to some outsiders but it's definitely true of Sardinia. Though they've now taken to them and every time I go there there seems to be a new one. Can't get enough of them. So much so that I was told that a roundabout not too far from Capo Boi was "the biggest roundabout in Europe". Of course it's no such thing

Re: Crazy Italian drivers
Roundabouts are an issue. I have learnt that the driver who occupies the space in front of me has right of way.
