Too true!
I found, driving the autostrade, was highly stressfull just for that reason. If you drive the "speed limit" (or just above) it becomes a constant game of trying
not to rear-end some slow moving truck, -OR- trying not to get rear-ended (when passing) by some insainly fast moving BMW or Benz rocketing down the passing lane.
Italy is one place where I really wished I had my 911 (and purely for safety reasons). Driving that Fiat there, constantly bouncing off the rev-limiter, while negotiating that speed differential, was
not relaxing.
