Moto scooter is the preferred way of locomotion of Italian people. Downtown, pay attention to the many Vespa which pass from every side!
The myth of the omnipresent FIAT 500 lasted a long time but not the one of the abusive use of the horn. However it is more a rite than a proof of agressiveness.
The Italians stick to your back! In such a way that you will not often even see the grill of the vehicle which follows you.
Driving rules on motorways are particular. It is made great use of the call of headlights to encourage releasing the way. You are then supposed to fold back as fast as possible even if it means to still bite on the right-hand lane to leave the maximum of place.
Another problem on the autostrada: the presence of small-engines cars which have a maximum speed much lower than the normal, about 80km/h. It can be a stressfull when you arrive at 130km/h on a snailcar and that you are flashed by a vehicle behind you coming at 160km/h to claim with authority the passage!
Italian use the rear view mirror very little except perhaps to apply make up when it is for bella ragazzas. The general idea is rather than each one pay attention to what occurs in front of oneself.
