Re: Move over A**hole!!!

Except for Italy. All driving laws and norms seem to go out the window in Italy. They make the drivers in Miami look tame. Not long ago I lived in northern Italy for 3 yrs If you're not used to it it does look like Italians drive crazy in the cities and secondary roads. But they are generally good ...
