Actually, for all the Romans that drive like they have their butt on fire, there is waaay less car accidents than here (where most drive like they have Miss Daisy in the backseat).
I remeber being picked up by a guy on a bike in Rome (was hitch-hiking, in the 80's you could still do that) ... after a minute, we start goign full throttle in one way streets (the wrong way). I was screaming my lungs out to the guy "WRONG WAY!! WRONG WAY!!!"
He just kept yellin
"SI SI, LO SO!!!" (yes yes, I know!)
