This was my favorite sign from I t a l y o l d d areprecedenzaallecorriere . svg It means give way to road coaches , but we were taught in indoc it meant dont pass on blind corners while going up a mountain . Anyhow this is spot on . American cars simply dont fit well on the streets in ItalyEurope , especially full size trucks . I purchased a used Peugeot and consider myself a pretty good driver . I was in an accident where some kids pulled along side me in a left lane bus lane and then cut abruptly in front of me . I hit them in their scooter and damaged my car a little . they were fine . Agree with not locking your doors . I did the same there . I remember one morning coming out to my ashtray cleaned out i used to keep euro coins in there , maybe 1520 euro . They also had the trunk open and had some gortex pants and jacket on the sidewalk I guess they forgot to come back for . Those would have cost me maybe $ 400 to replace . And yes , in town people park so close , especially parallel that its like wackamole getting out of the spot . I was in Sigonella . It was awesome , had the Navy let me stay there 20 years I would have .
