Why just write "SPEED CAMERA" when you can write all this?!

The other bizarre thing you'll notice, is that this is a British police helmet, certainly never seen in Italy.

You get a strong feeling Italy is on the verge of anarchy: the road surfaces are atrocious, the drivers are homicidal maniacs - I had one close his wing mirror on my elbow, whilst riding as close to the kerb as I could get (he didn't stop). Yet you just can't help but love the Italians - they're just so damned friendly! Get the map out in a cafe full of old men (we always do) and we'll have 20 different heated opinions of where we should go next and how we shoulsd get there!
