Not as cheap as France.
Cheaper than Switzerland.
No points though so cheaper than UK in real terms.See You Next TuesdayComment

Well at least we know this wasn't you: Naked Brit in his 50s jumped to his death from 150ft Ferris wheel in Italy | Daily Mail Online“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I remember a time in Palermo when five lanes of traffic were going in the same direction squeezed into a four lane road. Then the lights ahead changed and two lanes of traffic came in the other direction so the five lanes iof traffic neatly merged into two. Still not as bad as Greece or Mexico.Comment

Depends what you are driving. Floor anything above 500bhp and you will be treated like you were driving in the Pope himself by the police. Drive in a Mondeo with Dutch plates and they might not be as charitable. Probably because you have a caravan on the back.
Special points if you wait for them to take selfies at the next fuel station. Just concede that whatever you are driving is not as good as a Ferrari (in my case a AMG GTS) and they will cheer you off with a smile.
That said, the fastest things on the road seem to be Fiat Unos.Comment

Then one thing I learned from visiting Italy is that if you want to cross the road in Rome, wait for a Nun crossing the same road, then follow them."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Fastest thing is always a rental car, but yes, the cops out there do like watching performance cars being driven well.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
