Early last year, was enroute from Rome to Pompeii in a little but torque' diesel. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH RISK IN MY LIFE and I do not drive slow. One of 50 shockers we saw in a half day drive - ok I was in the fast lane accidentally, the Italian police actually tapped our rear at 160km+ to say 'please speed up or move lanes'...I still laugh at the uniformed cop in the back with a ciggy and one leg fully out the back window.

The only positive I have to say on their roads was that truckies must use the slow lane 24/7.
