Driving

Recently returned from Italy and while out on a long coach trip it was interesting to note all the different driving styles of the numerous lorry drivers from a host of countries as we passed them on the motorway - too close for comfort sometimes.

The worst offender was standing in his cab looking for something in his roof space and was unable to see ahead, next offender was laptop man and the more common style was reading material on steering wheel. Others were eating or just fed up with elbows on steering wheel or the one-foot on the dash job.

The Italian coach driver reckons it is illegal for lorries to overtake each other on Italian motorways while a coach can pass all, is he telling the truth?
