I've written about traffic and driving techniques in other parts of the world - South America, South Africa, St. Helena and London come to mind, and each was unique and interesting in it's own way. Rome traffic brings this to another level altogether…

The treads are okay, but the topsides have cracks and splits large enough to stick my finger through, and certainly aren't worth bringing with us on the Via Francigena.
