Milan has a decent trolley system and a sparse subway. Almost 20 years ago I was working at night at a Milan bank on their computer system. We finished at 2 AM. Our Italian partners drove us back to our hotel in central Milan. We were speeding along through the city at 60 miles an hour. All the stop lights were flashing yellow in all directions. The only rule was priority to the right. It was unnerving.

Many years later I started driving myself in Italy. The general laissez-faire attitude was nice.

“The general laissez-faire attitude was nice.”

Agree 100%. Once you understand Italian driving unwritten rules, it is freeing.
