Driving games

I used to work as a consultant for a big gaming company, but somehow never really got into virtual reality. The games I liked the best though were always the driving games.
But here is Florence, virtual reality driving games would only seem tame compared to the original Florentine experience! The traffic here is incredible, but at least when it is crawling along, you can nudge your way from lane to lane.
Much more scary is when the traffic is flowing freely. The signs send you from one side of a four lane road to the other, in the space of about 100 metres, and strangely, although there are 4 lanes drawn on the road there seem to be anything between 6 and 3 lanes of traffic in use! Added to this strange side to side journey across Florence's main boulevards are many other cars, some doing the same waltz as you, some doing the reverse, and some just lost! And then Vespas. And cyclists. And pedestrians. And buses.
You get the picture!
But the stranger thing still is, that it makes for a somehow very fun experience, as long as you keep your sense of humour (and I do try, with Marina and Jenny chatting to me happily to keep me sane, and all 3 of us singing along to the radio.) Also, importantly, after one week of driving mayhem, no-one has so much as touched the bumper of Massi's Panda, the car we are lucky enough to be driving around in!
