Yep when we were in Florence, I remember trying to cross a street with scooters shooting thru the pedestrians at 35mph! The best part was driving on the A1 autoban(not sure what Italians call their hiways) where you'd go to pass a slow vehicle and pray you didn't get creamed from somebody doing 120 way behind you, when you started the pass in your cheap under powered Nissan Micro, but 1/1000 of an inch off your bumper when you safely made it back into the slow lane!
Sorry for the hijack Roger, but too fun not to share!

It's the Autostrada del Sole (Highway of the Sun). It goes from Naples to Milan. I drove a part of it everyday to work at Naples International Airport. They're enforcing the speed limit (130 kph/81mph) more strictly - but they still have lots of accidents.
