Driving in southern Italy


So, driving around in Naples has to be one of the craziest experiences ever.  The first day Trevor drove me around, I was in shock with the lack of rules like no stopping at stop signs, running red lights left and right, yielding or not yielding, extreme fast and slow speeds, 2 lane roads made into 4 or 5 lane roads, passing whenever and wherever, drifting into 2 lanes and staying there, very narrow roads, mopeds zooming by from the left and right and in front from the other lane, and just pure chaos.  Since the first day, I have had to jump right in and go for it while getting used to driving a manual car as well.  I can tell you that after a week of driving in the chaos, I am somewhat used to it now and am not so shocked at all of the craziness.  It is still an absolutely crazy driving experience but "when in Rome..."
