I've had no problems driving in Italy. Greece was far worse.

I have driven in Barcelona and it is not bad at all for Jonny Foreigner Land. I found Italy much worse, they don’t take any notice of lane lines or traffic signals. Athens was and still is a death trap as roads have a bad surface and many cars having bald tyres. The most dangerous place I have driven has been Serbia, other cars will aim at foreign cars in the hope of having an accident and then claim on your insurance.

Agree with you regarding Italy being the worst. Mumbai is hectically busy to drive in but I still felt safer than driving in Italy.
