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.

I was only a passenger in the car, but every journey by someone who wasn’t my ex, the driver was either on their phone or drunk or both. On a few occasions my ex was also drunk. It was jarring to say the least.
One of the worst was when the ex was super pissed and also super drunk. She drove over the speed limit on the wrong side of the road, wrong way around roundabouts, all the way back from a wedding. When we got in to the house? She threw up for a couple hours. Her hangover the next day, she couldn’t remember the drive.

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.
