Per dire della bella figura che si fa in giro con questa storia delle macchine che sono troppe e quindi non multabili, provate a cercare su Google "Romans drive like":
In più, su questo sito di viaggi 3 recensioni su 9 alludono alla guida dei Romani:I know what you're thinking when you read the title of this tip [How to Cross the Streets in Rome]. You've crossed thousands of streets all over the world; you've survived much chaotic, big city traffic, so you don't need a lesson on crossing the streets anywhere. Nevertheless, you do, my friend, because crossing the streets in Rome is an art. Unless you were born with Michelangelo's talent, you do need to learn how to hold a brush. Roman drivers were born differently. They've never learned to yield to anyone, whether it's another car, motorcycle, bus, or helpless pedestrian. It's easy if you cross the streets at a stop light, but if you need to be on the other side and there isn't a legal crosswalk nearby, you'll find yourself desperately craving a helping hand. So here is your helping hand. Check traffic on the left to see if there's enough space to step down from the curb. Once you step down, never, ever, under any circumstance, make eye contact with the drivers, nor change the speed and rhythm of your stride. Walk steadily, do not zigzag, do not run, do not stop to retrieve anything, do not point, do not look around, and do not turn your head to talk to your companions. At the dividing line, check the traffic on the right from the corner of your eye. Again, do not make eye contact. Looking at the approaching drivers in the eye is a signal that you have seen them, you have recognized their coming, and you will take the responsibility of avoiding being hit. Your speed and rhythm have to stay the same so the drivers can gauge how much space they would need to swerve around you without slowing down. Their responsibility is not hitting you. Your responsibility is not making their job difficult by changing the rules mid-game. Once you step foot onto the path of the oncoming traffic, you're entering in a contract that involves trust and harmony from both parties. If you do not breach the agreed upon rules, they will not have any reason to falter and hit you. Now that you know the principle, why not start to practice? Happy crossing

Romans drive like crazy people! You take you life in your hands when you cross the road in Rome - traffic racing in every direction, squeezing down narrow streets and ignoring pedestrian crossings. If you are going to drive in Rome you should get the smallest car possible - this make it a lot easier easy to get a park as well!!

Don't even think about renting a car to get around town. Parking is practically impossible, and you need some very strong nerves to cope with Roman drivers. For those of you who want to get motorised renting a scooter is the best option. You will get around the quickest this way, but it's rather dangerous.

The rules and norms of driving are much different from our own. From our point of view, Romans drive like maniacs.

Just do yourself one small favour... leave the car at home. The Romans drive like today is their very last day on earth and everyone is going to pay! Look both ways before crossing the road people!

A private car was ordered up for us and we had our first “thrill ride” in Italy -- Mr. Giuseppe’s Wild Ride to the Westin Excelsior. “Hey, is that the Coliseum?” Whoosh! “Wow, was that the Vatican?” Whoosh! “Wait, isn’t that…?” Whoosh! In Rome, you pretty much have to do as the Romans do, and we settled back and relaxed -- all Romans drive like this!

* A comprehensive history of the city, from an explanation of Emperor Vespasian's 'urine tax' to why modern Romans drive like maniacs.

you may have heard that stopping at a red light is merely a “suggestion.” I’m here to tell you that this is 100% gospel truth. Romans drive like maniacs though – due to some inexplicable phenomena – you will rarely see a traffic accident. If you’d like to get a first-hand look at utter chaos and near-misses in full-swing, go stand in Piazza Venezia for five minutes. Videotape what you see. Share it with friends back home. You won’t be disappointed.

Take care with cars. Romans drive like hell!
(joseflorido)Ancient Rome is really impressive but the contemporary city is incredibly dirty, with dangerous traffic, overpriced food and rude people.
(tictac)No nos quitábamos la frase de "Estos romanos están locos!", porque cómo conducen... cómo cruzan las calles
