He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
If you are Italian and a nice looking woman. A nice ride will also exempt you from traffic laws. You a foreigner with a caravan or something and they'll fine you for everything
Which is also the reason I never drink more than one beer on a night I need to drive. This one should be atleast three hours before I hit the road again. However if I am caught I lose my license. The insanity...
Honestly I wouldnt let her drive in the first place. If i'd notice someone is really drunk and wants to go driving, I will drag him/her out of the car !!!
The police awaits people outside the pub here. They test everyone that doesnt walk home. I've lost my driving license once for 10 hours because of it. I was on my bike (!!) and had drank about 8-9 pints, nothing special... I wasn't even planning to operate a car at all !! At the time I didnt even had one in the first place ! Very exagerated behaviour by the government and a biggie fine, whilst I took the bike, to not need to drive and play safe !!!
You can go at a milion miles an hours, do wrong turns in the city, drive like you think you're Ayrton Senna, and still nothing. Italians don't care about speed cameras or anything, not that there are that many though. Thet say that in Italy the speed limit is the tops speed of your car. And if you look good, nothing else matters.
I guess that if you drive a caravan you are spoiling the look of the countryside, so you have to be fined...

Good man, I do the exact same thing.
Again, I would do the same. As an old inti-drunk driving ad in the US says: "Friends, don't let friends drive drunk."
Wow, the police must have the man power to be so tough, kudos to them.
Nice way to suck more money out of the taxpayer without the system having to cut back on their bullshit...
Well let's say it's different to Germany. In a way Italy is more exciting. Probably the only place in the world in which little old ladies overtake you doing over 200km/h in their big Alfa Romeo 166's, or Fiat Cinquencento flash you to get out of their way, or lorries overtake you at 140km/h. As I said all jolly exciting...
The Gallardo was given to the Italian police just to be able to keep up with the rusted Fiats...

No, for '60s and '70s cars, I consider standard size to be cars like the Chevy Chevelle, Ford Torino and Plymouth Belvedere. Those were known as "mid-sized" cars.
For modern cars, something like a Ford Five Hundred or a Pontiac Grand Prix.
But you do have a point... for us limo drivers, all other cars seem "small."
