Driving in Italy is quite the experience. I’ve seen an Italian park in the middle of a roundabout, get out, smoke a cigarette and wait for the police to show up. When they came he showed them something in his wallet and they immediately did the universal “sorry, my bad” hand motions and left. Then the guy went to a nearby bar and got shitfaced. Later on he stumbled back to the middle of the roundabout and drove home.
I’ve driven in a few countries.
I thought driving in Greece was pretty chilled out. Mind you, I didn’t drive in a city. Naturally, I got stuck behind two Dutch caravans.
The worst place I’ve driven was Catalonia. Until, that is I tried driving in Romania. That was cutthroat and fucking mental.
I find the biggest problem with driving abroad is not knowing what all the little unspoken customs are. On Greek single carriageway roads people drift into the hard shoulder to allow faster vehicles to pass, for example (the Dutch caravans did not do this).
Oh wait, wrong sub. Correction: the biggest problem with driving abroad is that everybody is a fucking savage that doesn’t drive by good, honest, God-fearing British rules.
Have you ever tried to drive in the limits in Italy? Best way to collect offences and curses
Brits and Dutch are good drivers?????? Never seen so much cope on the Internet.
Tbf when I went to Como the drivers were so nice that I was really surprised. When I had to cross the street they stopped 5 meters before and didn’t put any pressure. Here in Naples though even if you cross on the pedestrian crossing, drivers watch you from their car as if you’re committing a crime and you’re somehow in the wrong.
I’ve driven in Napoli once, never again
Germans are way nicer drivers then us
Lolwut. Dutch drivers definitely are NOT nice/good. Try approaching a pedestrian crossing, few drivers will yield correctly… And lots of drivers will give you an angry face when you’re being assertive and force them to stop by putting a foot on that “holy” roadway.
In what world are dutch drivers good??
The more topics I read about this the more I’m convinced nobody actually knows how to drive.
I like Italians. It’s more like skiing than driving just keep in mind what the person in front of you is doing the rest will yield to you.
Germans annoy the fuck out of me with how they never, ever, ever, ever move to the right side lane on a three way (or more) road.
Brits keep to the speed limit too much, at least on continental Europe. Less so in their own country.
The French treat their cars as the Dutch treat their bikes. As an object to be used and abused. And it shows.
Belgians aren’t real.
The Spanish are like the Italians, only slower.
The Portuguese I don’t know, can they even afford cars? I never see them anywhere.
And the Dutch? I see them the most so they annoy the most. Some know how to drive, others think it’s perfectly acceptable to pass someone 30kmph below the speed limit, just because you’re going 2 kmph faster than the other guy. Fucking assholes.
This has been a very good data harvest on how to efficiently piss off the most people on the road can’t wait use these tactics when I finally learn how to drive
It’s really weird how the dutch go from bottom left to top left as soon as they cross the border.
Nigeria can into western europe?
Living in Germany has spoiled me. I fucking hate how German (and especially Turks) are driving. But when I arrive in Italy, I’m forget that hate and I’m happy about them.
For those who are confused Belgium is on the 1000th slide
After India, I found the traffic in Rome quite relaxing.
I’ve lived in NL for 3 years (Utrecht and Nimma) and I promise you guys, Dutchies follow the rules, everything fine, but their driving and parking abilities are quite low. I think it must be because they are all the time with the bikes and not much driving really.
Oh boy, thank god we’re out of that graph…
Dutch while on their bikes are super mean
Good nice drivers in greece ? In which country am I living?
If you don’t have separate axis for bad, good, mean or nice i have to assume you don’t have a driving license.
That Austrian painter did one thing right, the right sice driving.
Can any Stelios with an internet connection pls explain why your curbs are 1m high?
I have to disagree with the good / bad drivers evaluation. Feels like OP never drove in Greece or on a Dutch highway, the takovers are wild, rules are there to be broken… Germany might drive quick, but are mostly rule compliant.
It’s more dangerous to drive in the Netherlands with their 100km/h limit than in autistic Germany with Hans and his BMW
I’ve never had any issues in any countries I’ve visited or driven in.
Until german/Dutch caravaners arrive.
Greece in the lower half? I don’t think so…
Britain has the 2nd safest roads in Europe but because we have a desire to over regulate and try and suck the fun out of anything that could possibly result in an accident we’ve had some pretty mad changes to the designs of roads and speed limits
One of the downsides is people now seem to drive at 40mph “just in case” on roads built for 60mph which are also clearly marked as such.
Ever driven under 200kmh on the left lane of Autobahn? Now that’s how you get some angry Germans

My limited experience as a driver on/in Crete:
