If you’re doing less than 140mph they flash you to go faster or get out the way.
Getting a lift back with people that were half-cut going about 120 upwards and flashing people out the way was bad, until we were flashed to move over by the next guy. That was Abbruzzo, where the roads aren’t great.

Every weekend a few people die in car accidents where driving drunk or heavily drugged.
I drove drunk too, where I had no recollection of driving. Couple of times no idea how got from the in the town center a few km away to where I lived and then got in my car and drove to a friends place. Woke up not knowing where I was, no idea how I got there. The car was still ticking over with the drivers door open. That was a shock to the system.
Then again the vendemia in montalcino was an experience of everyone driving drunk.

Northern Italy has some amazing roads. Everything there really, fast dual carriageways climbing mountains and tiny country roads. Maybe the lakes are a bit busy for traffic but right from the tunnels at the border with France/Monaco there's some really exciting roads.
Only thing that freaked me out about Italy is you'll be doing 130mph and someone will sit on your bumper because they want to do 160.
