muff528 3 #10 July 21, 2014 virgin-burner..go fucking die in a ball of fire! that is all. yours sincerely, v.b. Well, that's just it. Italians know they need to get where they're going before their cars catch fire. (Also, to paraphrase Richard Pryor, ..."People get out of your way when you're on fire!")

Nataly 38 #11 July 21, 2014 I'm not saying I agree with you about all of them fucking off and being consumed in a great ball of fire... But as I live (and ride daily) by the border of Italy, I will say that I regularly fear for my life, and it's not because of the French drivers...

skiskyrock 0 #16 July 22, 2014 I've been spending a lot of time in northern Italy and with relatively few exceptions I feel safer driving there than in the Philly burbs. The exceptions are: Stop signs- there aren't many and they don't seem to have any effect on traffic. Scooters: I assume that all riders have set out that morning to kill themselves, are carrying just enough gas for a personal funeral pyre, and are looking to me to euthanize (or at least thanize) them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Di0 1 #18 July 22, 2014 Italian drivers probably sincerely reciprocate your warm feelings. Or, more likely, they don't give a shit?I'm standing on the edge With a vision in my head My body screams release me My dreams they must be fed... You're in flight.

HighJB 0 #19 July 24, 2014 I use to drive in the Torino area. Sure people are driving fast, but i had the impression they were pretty good drivers (You have to be careful of the cars behind you when you intend to stop at the red light ). Talking about France, people need to precise the area as the habits are different depending of where your are.
