In October my wife and I went to Italy.
Took the train from Rome to Naples.
A driver picked us up and drove out to Sorrento.
The drivers are VERY aggressive. The lanes are narrow. Every car has scraps down the side. Lots of cars are missing their side view mirrors.

Then there are the scooter drivers that drive down the center line veering in and out of the oncoming lane to pass cars/trucks. Traffic is bumper to bumper the whole trip.
Then you enter the tunnel which is about five miles long. One lane in each direction.

My God Rome. The taxi drivers in Rome provide an optional blind fold for your convenience.

I've been to Italy but have never driven there.

I was stationed in England and the bloke (British) drivers would pull out to pass you on a 2-lane road without a care whatsoever if there was an oncoming car. They took it on absolute faith that the car being overtaken and the oncoming car would both move over to the edge of the pavement and the cars would pass three abreast at 65 mph on a two lane road.
