    O/T - Driving in phucking Italy

    Ok - so any arabs living in Italy? So i am driving what seems a 24/7 super mario race phucking circuit - even in Tuscany. The old cvnts are the worst. I now dont even slow down at a stop sign nor give a phuck about a roundabout (there is one on the main rome motorway!! It is so much fun that i cant drive without a chianti or 5. Which seems to put me in an equilibrium with the rest of the nutters.

    I drive to Rome tomorrow. Pisa was bad, Siena was Bad, Milan was ok (it was 3am), Florence was just sh!t and the country roads were just cinquincentos trying to phuck me up the ass.

    So Rome tomorrow or will i just drive off a cliff?

    Another thing ive got the car insured for missus and she certainly seems to have the knowledge of what i am doing wrong. should I ??

    Yep, remember it well - I tried to avoid driving into the centre of cities to avoid the worst of the madness.
    The funniest one was when i was approaching a roundabout and there was a lorry just stopped in the middle of the road for no apparent reason. I cautiously drove round it and just as I came level with the cab with the driver just staring ahead, a woman’s head suddenly popped up in front of him from between his legs. Had to laugh!

    Drove from Pisa airport to Lucca and all round that area, no problems tbh but that was May not in the main holiday season. Decided on the train for Florence tho.
    See here in Spain some of them still use the outside lane (left lane) before taking their right exit so a car can cut you up easy on a roundabout.
    Tbh i try to drive as little as possible here in July and August as it gets a bit mental with the Spanish tourists coming in. Did see a British car tho last week going round a roundabout the wrong way 😆😆😆

    Ha ha, the missus and I drove from Bari to Brindisi in Apulia and stayed on the Costa Merlata near Ostuni many moons ago, it wasn’t too bad in the country but it was murder polis in the towns and cities. Traffic lights and roundabouts were to be seen to be believed. Complete chaos. Folk overtaking, undertaking, cutting people off....
