I'm Italian and even I admit we drive like lunatics! I refuse to drive in Italy and just walk or take the train everywhere. It's much safer! I remember when I was first learning English - the first thing I learned was an insult lol.
I am so use to driving in the states, that when I go back home for a visit - car rides give me gray hair. That's saying a lot considering I spend most of my time hauling it in an ambulance. Lol.
