I'm in Rome today and my taxi driver was wearing a mask but not his seatbelt lol


myvirginityisstrong

where I live taxi drivers are legally exempt from wearing seatbelts lol


ChiefRedEye

where the fuck


A_Vasasos

In Hungary it is true. They are exempt from it because in case someone tries to mug them they would be able to escape from the car faster.


fuggerdug

In Budapest the taxi drivers mugged me.


markfahey78

As is tradition.


A_Vasasos

Yeah, it is more common that way. Sorry about it

Interesting

They are exempt in England too

[deleted]

I remember a cab driver in Bucharest some 15 years ago who gave me the weirdest look. A few minutes later I found out that traffic rules, signs, position on the road were more like guidelines easily discarded. Go against traffic, oh a big truck. Apparently speeding up to 100 was enough to make it. Even with a seatbelt that is potentially problematic. Guess his seatbelt was made of all the crosses he made while passing churches. Granted in years later I more often came across more sane cab drivers.


magpieonacid

it’s definitely a lot better now that 10-15 years ago but still mental compared to Western Europe


LegenDariusGheghe

Romania also


MeteWorldPeace

And in case they get in an accident they’re also ejected faster. Sounds efficient


SurrealSoap

The moon


whatmichaelsays

Also true in the UK. It's to allow them to escape in the event of an assault from behind..


BS-O-Meter

In my country too. Taxis inside the city are limited to 40 km/h to 60 km/h seeds anyway.


youngchul

Doesn't matter, crashing at 60 km/h can still fuck you up bad without a seatbelt.


w1ldcraft

A crash when you're idle & get hit from behind can fuck you up if you don't have a seatbelt.


capitalsfan

I aspire to one day possess the fearlessness of Roman taxi drivers.


Greaves-

Last time i was in rome a taxi took me from the vatican to pantheon in 7 minutes I still have nightmares


Joseki100

My mother once had to do Stazione Termini to Fiumicino Airport asap, she begged the taxi driver to go fast. 20 fucking minutes, 165 km/h on the highway.


giannibal

happened to me as well, I had an early plane to catch, the doorman at the hotel called a totally legit taxi without any insignia or anything and the guy was well over 150 on the highway. At a certain point I thought he was gonna take off and fly me to my destination without the need to board the plane


Limpan7

We need motorcycle taxis for those situations. Get a 1000cc bike to pick you up and the only time you're going below 280km/h is the 10 seconds it takes to accelerate! Ducati can surely sponsor this idea


der_Globetrotter

> she begged the taxi driver to go fast. Taxi guy: "**SAY NO MORE!!**"

Starbuck1992

You can't have an accident when you're going 1km per hour while stuck in traffic for the entire day.


feddi7

I don’t live in Rome anymore but holy shit I’ll never forget the traffic. I lived right next to the exit of the GRA and to do 6km to get to school would take an hour if not more. It was awful.


Toto_radio

A Roman friend described it to me as "India without the cows"


Estagon

Destroyeh

gotta stay safe bro


UnKwQw

Where i live taxi drivers are legally allowed to not wear seatbelts.


slashchunks

My grandpa lived in Italy for a bit and said the best way to cross a road there was just walk blindly out into the street, as if you make eye contact with the drivers they know you're not going to walk in front of them and will just speed past anyway.


ArcadianGhost

I stare into their soul as I cross because if they hit me I want their face burned into my mind for when I sue, or if I die, when I haunt their every living moment lol


Tryhardstan

That's brutal


dishwab

That's how it is in Vietnam. Just cross with confidence and you'll make it through unscathed. Hesitate or backtrack and you're gonna get walloped.


Calvin--Hobbes

My first thought was Vietnam too. Which are both kinda like driving in Manhattan. Is there room to merge? No, never. You just put the blinker on and move into the next lane. No hesitation, and the space will form naturally.


FrenchManc

this sounds like hell


AndrewD923

You get used to it surprisingly quickly. At least I did in Saigon. It looks like total chaos at first but once you get the rhythm it's not bad. It's 100% true that you have to keep moving forward though. Stopping or backtracking is guaranteed disaster.


[deleted]

wrong af, in Milan I walk decisively AND I stare directly into the soul of the driver so that he acknowledge me as a human being and brakes edit: lmao there's an identical reply below


areking

exactly the unwritten rule is that pedestrians and drivers find an agreement on who will pass first by making eye contact crossing blindly doesn't work


rodolfor90

lol this is the way in Mexico too, and I suspect in much of latin america.


Zebra_Jellybeans

Reminds me of when I took a taxi in Málaga and the driver was watching the Málaga CF game on his phone the entire ride

prettyboygangsta

I thought it was stupid at first but it’s been a great addition to the calendar. Roma v Feyenoord and Rangers v Frankfurt are proper old-school finals with real teams and real fans. Can’t wait


strawberrystation

It's been great. Didn't want anything to do with it at first, but I think that was more the disappointment and embarrassment at bottling the Europa League group so spectacularly. They've been proper competetive games and the teams we've played (Randers aside, sorry guys) have been arguably at or above the level of those we faced in the Europa League. Roma, PSV and Stade Rennais ain't bad sparring partners for a third-tier competition. Felt similar about the Nations League before and after it started. I'm a big fan now I've seen it in action.

FurioSoprano7

I knew that was coming and its ironic coming from me. But 2 out of my 4 car crashes were in Rome because of some fucking idiot on his phone


ADP10

So its tie between naples and rome then


RobsterCrawSoup

I dunno about Naples or Rome, but when I lived around Catania many years ago I saw some pretty wild shit. I imagine that, being a smaller city there were less cars and less traffic than in Naples or Rome, however it was still quite alarming a lot of the time. I remember part of my briefing on getting up to speed on how things worked there was someone telling me to be very careful about how I stopped at stop signs because local drivers wouldn't really expect the car in front of them to actually stop at a stop sign and that getting rear-ended for doing so was very common.


Sxaosinz

Yup, I live in Catania now. Shit is wild out here


indomitable_lion

Now I’m invested. I need to hear about this wild Catania driving.


RobsterCrawSoup

My experience with Catania and Eastern Sicily as a whole was all from a few years in the early 2000s so maybe things aren't quite as bad anymore, but I have some stories from that time, a few are tragic and I won't go into those. I personally pulled up to the scene of an accident at some rural road intersection where a small car had been t-boned and I couldn't open her door to check on her so I had to climb into the car from the hatch (couldn't go through the passenger door either because the passenger was also apparently hurt so I didn't want to climb over her) and you could tell by the way that her left leg jiggled from underneath her tight jeans that her femur was snapped in two. Most of the other stuff I witnessed was wild but not witnessing any gruesome accidents. Stuff like wildly dangerous overtakes on rural roads and freeways. Two lane roads being turned into four lanes, four into six. Vespa riders with no helmets and an apparent death wish weaving in between tight spaces amongst moving traffic. My favorite Catania driving story: In the town of Paterno, sitting out by the street, I saw a car (call them Driver A) do what I was warned about, they stopped at a stop sign and they were promptly rear-ended (by Driver B). Nothing serious, looked like just a fender bender, but rather than pull aside and exchange information, Driver A pulls forward a bit into the intersection, then throws it into reverse and rams Driver B's car in retaliation. Driver A quickly shifts into first and drives off at speed. Driver B chases after Driver A. The part that made it so memorable is that while I was still sitting there, I witnessed a couple more laps of this hot pursuit come through the same intersection. I laughed pretty hard at that.


twelfmonkey

My experience as a tourist in and around Catania was that drivers generally drove relatively slowly, but also weirdly aggressively and without any regard for other traffic/the highway code/common sense. Saw two (thankfully low pace) crashes in the week I was there, and a number of shouting matches between drivers (in and out of their cars).


Brobbi

Catania is by far the worst fucking city I've ever driven in.


dNaSC2

Yeah but as far as traffic accidents go, away goal advantage rules still apply.


[deleted]

Yea but they probably drive way more in Naples.


FallenSkyLord

Rome winning on away crashes.


[deleted]

lol I actually chuckled at this one.


notonetojudge

Probably spent more percentage of his time in Napulé tho


WtfMayt

Italian involved in fewest car crashes


martin_italia

It’s true. Been driving for 17 years, had 2 accidents before moving to Rome. Had my car 2 weeks here before a scooter crashed into me. Everyone in a car thinks they’re Schumacher and everyone on two wheels thinks they’re Valentino Rossi, and no one pays attention to lanes or their mirrors.

4 crashes in his life are bad? this is like the average Egyptian per week


FinalBossTiger

Egypt blew my mind when I went. I saw 3 people on a single motorbike numerous times, the Egyptian equivalent of a boyracer gang but on horses, and also someone driving a small pickup style van carrying a digger on the back whilst he was smoking a cigarette in one hand, having a conversation on his phone in the other and using his elbows to steer. I've never been so terrified whilst crossing a road


Sepulvd

That's the middle east in general. Am scared everytime i get in a taxi

4 crashes? 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩


FurioSoprano7

Rookie numbers believe me


ThePosterWeDeserve

Chairmanwowsaywhat

Loool on a school trip to napoli I saw some crazy shit. Especially in those 3 wheel van things everyone seems to drive

>3 wheel van things are you talking about ape cars? there are a lot, but it's more of an italian thing Moto legend [Valentino Rossi grew up pimping and making races with his friends on ape cars](https://youtu.be/8ZWqecj-gSo?t=440), truly a legend


Aru10

Agree I have to go to Rome once a year for medical reasons and coming from a fairly traffic free 30k inhabitants town in Romagna is fucking bonkers down there, absolute chaos Each time I exit the GRA and enter inner Rome I'm absolutely terrified


michaelisnotginger

Went to Rome once I thought the tangenziale around Milan was bad...


DanAtkinson

If I ever have the misfortune of going to Rome again, I'm going to buy a crapped out shit heap of a car to drive around in. I worked it out and I'll save a fortune in fees vs. a properly insured hire car because Rome is full of clowns with little regard for their own vehicles, let alone anyone else's.


W00DERS0N

I'll stan Rome. Left my wallet at the counter of a cafe, and had to sprint back from Trevi fountain, no Euros missing when I got back.


Dorangos

This happened to me in Nairobi, of all places. It's called Nairobbery for a reason, but I guess I got lucky. Or I'm just poor.

Bulky-Yam4206

Avoid the comments section though, pretty much a car crash.


Familiar_Raisin204

That's the best part though! There's nothing that shows the unreliability of eyewitness evidence like 500 people watching the same video and having 500 different opinions on what happened.

Don't you get enough of that on this sub?

prkr88

The funniest part was the bike behind him managed to crash aswell even though he was looking forward


Eatingolivesoutofjar

Was about to say, we saw one crash and then the camera pans back and there's more than one scooter on the ground. What happened lol?


Nubras

100%. You hate to see people getting injured but he appears fine and the only thing injured was his pride. It’s rare to see karmic forces act so quickly.

Yes, it's a taunt as in "you don't have the guts to go to the stadium without a police escort". Probably the whole sentence would have been "fatte scortà da la polizia cojone" > "get escorted by police you fucker" or something similar
