There's no practical driving methodology or system as there is in Germany

One good thing about the EU is that the Teutonic Highway Sanity has permeated even .... Italy!

The Germans are very good drivers around town, going at a modest pace, obeying signals, signalling, watching for pedestrians, etc. Once out on the Autobahn, it is understood that the fast lane is for people who can (a) afford it by having good equipment, and (b) expect those lower on the automotive food chain to stay out of the way.

BTW, don't try having a bad tire, or a rusty vehicle. So you can imagine my shock when seeing all this sanity starting to be practiced on the Italian roads (well not Napoli).

So if you yearn for the kamikazi Euro drivers of your lost youth, I recommend Greece ... and Portugal. Whew!
