This was on the news here today:
Colombian Diego García, 24, who lives in Udine (Italy) claims he got lost while visiting Rome and ended in the middle of the stairs of the famous monument "Piazza España". Of course when police checked he was DUI. License was revoked and he was charged with destruction of monuments.
(no, it isn't photoshopped)

You'd think he'd notice that he was driving down a flight of stairs....

It was so nice coming down he wanted to go back up !
Being Colombian the DUI probably means "Drugs Used Intravenously."
Great suspension test, mind you.
Wonder if he'll get a plaque bearing his name on the monument?

I know that, but when you drive in italy you get intoxicated by their driving style. You know a blend of speed, the sound of horns and bent Fiats.
You can even end up driving on some stairs if you try hard enough.

i'd be personally more worried about the colombian style of driving.
or rather the lack of it.

I can make the same claim... It was a wonderful place to go to at night to chill out. We had a 1 star hotel near Termini station, so we could reach everything really quickly. This was one of our preferred places... Usually we just had some beers on the balcony and around night fall we would take the remainder of the crate and some chicks there. I also had some great love experiences there ;)
God, how I love bella Italia !!!
Just wondering though.. there are no roads on top, right ???
Italian driving rules by the way. Atleast you can get everywhere quickly, if you follow the FIAT's :D
