Was over there about 2 years ago & travelled from Rome to Naples with the inlaws in their beemer 320 & never saw less than 160 all the way with the occasional cop totally disinterested !!!!
It was a real eye opener & I was very impressed with the
Italian driver's attitude together with their rigid use of indicators to signal intentions & with everyone staying in the slower lanes unless overtaking !! The traffic flow was very smooth with no hold up's in 2 hours of driving.
The German autobahns are much the same & I remember about 30 years ago travelling from Holland to Germany in a Citroen 2CV shite box with only a hand brake & being told by a Dutch mechanic that I was a typical "bloody foreigner " LOL !!!
(All I wanted was a brake master cylinder kit ?? !! )
Never saw an accident in 3 weeks of car & bus touring. For the history buffs out there, Italy is a must do.
