You may have the stereotypical image of crazy Italians driving scooters like maniacs, weaving in and out of traffic and defying death at every turn. So far for me, the real thing far surpasses the stereotype.
We have noticed a fascinating phenomenon here amongst this certain species of brave/crazy Italians. Some of them are so confident about their driving and so socially oriented that they jam their cell phones in between their ear and their helmet and have heated conversations while navigating Roman traffic. I dearly wish I had a photo to post but these creatures are so elusive that I have yet to capture one in a picture, even though I have seen them quite often.
The best part is that more often than not, they are using their "free" hand to gesture passionately as they thread the needle between the three cars they are passing and oncoming traffic.
Mamma Mia. If I ever get a photograph I'll be sure to post it.
