Did you ever drive in Italy?

I do every day, and I'd prefer to do it in a M1 Abrahms (some of the
drivers I meet would deserve that, expecially those with Alfa Romeo's
or BMW's, who think they're on their own private race track).

What annoys me most is the distance they keep from your butt. Some
stay at no more than 50cm from you at speeds of 100+ Km/h. I'm tempted
to hit the brake pedal hard sometimes, no matter what will happen, so
they get properly educated.
