Hi Dexter, greetings from Canada. We understand all forms of English here so don't worry about correctness, we'll know what you are saying.

Hi Dexter,
I regret leaving Italy and returning to the UK s appalling driving skills which leaves everyone driving around blind and distracted relying on others to indicate and drive perfectly to avoid accidents ...and getting angry when they dont !!!
I much prefer driving with the concentration and attention needed to navigate roads where few bother to signal anything ( Roma/ Napoli a class of its own ), and found it fantastic all traffic lights flashed amber through the night in the city as they let the ladies of the night out stood in thongs to further test your concentration (or were they ladyboys) π...
( lived at, via potuense (a mansada with view of city) , castel san pietro romano (view of city 600m above), gallicano nel lazio, and st arcangello maffuci lake trasimeno )
No doubt you will get more priceless footage in a week than we will get in the uk in a year !!!

Welcome to the club!
Italy is a beautiful country. the problem in addition to the policy are the drivers. rude and presumptuous. as you rightly said it. I was born in a town where priority is given to those who have the bigger machine. (I have a xsara picasso) π unfortunately this is Italy ... π

i remember parking like that, but it was in Paris France i saw it π
I have visited sicily for a fjew houres too while the rest of the crew on the ship unloaded a lot of unleaded gasoline, but cant remember to have seen bad drivers there.
Got the worst pizza of my life there, guess the ones i am used to from Denmark isent Italian pizza, and i learned to say 22:30 as that was when our shore boat picked us up Again ( took a while for us sailors to figure out as the guy dident speak English ) π

Buongiorno, Signore Dexter π
Don't worry about your english, they understand mine, so what π
Acc. to driving-Skills and "non existing ("not lived") traffic rules" - when I returned from the "DMZ" * yesterday, I had to change clothes, all sweaty... (and I'm (well: I've been) a CDL-Driver (Lorry-Driver; Professional - I'm not easily scared π
So - it can't be THAT bad in Italy π
(* that's my description of a few towns in south Germany π - well, it's a shame that a Court in Bavaria decided that a publication of DC-Vids can be illegal (News are waiting for the justification, so it becomes clear what's allowed and what's not).. Would be great Pictures sometimes)
Edit: sorry, it's early... Had to bring some sense to my sentences...

No problem, Mike.
If you have some interesting footage to share, go ahead and post it, you could be waiting forever for a definitive ruling on what can and cannot be published.
