Reply to "Pre-LMC visit to Italy"

Got thumbs up from a motorcycle, a Jeep owner, and the driver of a new Maserati flashed his lights. Good to be back in your country of birth…

In Italy things are different. The German and Austrian hausfraus become slick Italian signorinas, very fashion conscious and very interested in looking their best. They often succeed. Also people drive like crazy. Yes, it’s true. Expect the unexpected. They just make their entrance on a busy main road, forget about waiting your turn, and the arrows in the lanes as well. Speed limits are suggestions only. And tailgating is the norm, I had a smoking (hot) Donna in a Fiat 500 max 3 meters from my bumper for 20 km. She could smoke, adjust her makeup, do a seat-/lapdance to her music and use her mobile while driving, no problem. Having her right behind me was scary on many levels...

Motorcycles seem to believe the stripes on the middle of the road are their lanes.
