However it looks like Italians days of scooter freedom are over.
Most people know that Italians drive with a certain style that others find dangerous. You also need to look out for scooters - and this applies to pedestrians as well. Recently went for a grand tour of Italy and was amazed and entertained by the dangerous scooter and motorcycle riding I saw. Not only do riders just zoom around you as your cross the road on pedestrian crossings missing you by a foot or two, half of them are riding with one hand whilst talking on the phone. I don't know what the accident rate is out there but it must be high. I even saw a rider and pillion riding slowly in the rain - with an umbrella up!!!!
