Italian driving style scares Europeans

Italian drivers are considered the most dangerous in Europe. This conclusion was made by researchers who recently conducted a survey on the tourist Internet portal Zoover and published it in the French magazine Auto Plus. The survey was presented in the form of a questionnaire, in which the inhabitants of Europe were asked to choose a country characterized by the most severe drivers.

About 30 thousand people took part in the social research, many of whom didn’t quite flatter the automotive skills of Italians. 23.7 percent of respondents ranked them as the worst drivers in Europesecond place of honor went to the Greeks (15.6 percent), and won the bronze Poles (14 percent). The ten most dangerous and reckless owners of rights also included Germans (7.9 percent), French (7.7 percent), Dutch (5.6 percent) and Spaniards (5 percent). Not neglected the nomination "The most accurate and reliable drivers."

So, Finns turned out to be the most respected in this category: only 1.5 percent considered their manner of turning the steering wheel unacceptable.

It is worth noting that another recent survey on Italians and automobiles showed that 4 out of 10 residents of the sunny country spend at least an hour a day drivingMost of which are youth. More than 40 percent of respondents said that they spend at least one hour daily in a car, 34 percent admitted that they drive vehicles 1-2 hours a day, 6 percent - up to four hours, and 1 percent (on average these are young people from 18 to 24 years old) and do almost live behind the "steering wheel".

Only 55 percent of young Italians have their own car at their disposal.

The survey also revealed the reasons why Italian residents get behind the wheel: 47 percent of respondents said they use this vehicle to get to work, and 43 percent prefer to travel around the city on weekends for personal matters. Women usually sit in the driver's seat to carry out business assignments (67 percent), or travel short distances (30 percent).

It is worth noting that the severe economic crisis significantly crippled the well-being of the inhabitants of sunny Italy.

More and more lovers of speed and beautiful cars prefer to use bikes. This is evidenced by sales data for this type of movement. So, in 2012, Italians bought 200 thousand more bicycles than in the previous one, and among the happy owners of iron “horses” there were not only poor and economical students, but also businessmen and even politicians. Moreover, many of them even sought to sell their sports cars and buy more modest models.

If in Italy before there was not such a huge number of sports cars as in Moscow, now they have become even smaller.

Well-known world manufacturers of luxury cars, such as Ferrari and Maserati, regretfully reported that Italians do not come to their salons so often, but prefer to ride bicycles, which is not only free, but also good for health.
