I now understand why Italians wave their arms around so much when they talk.
It's so they can lambast you as you drive along, and hopefully if you're Italian, you'll understand the gist of the insults.

When is 90kmh not 90kmh?
When it's an Italian 90kmh!
Both my satnag and phone are within 1kmh of each other, and I know my satnag is bob on, so why when I'm doing 92 kmh do artics come steaming past me.......uphill!

A lot of artics "run the hills", so you approach hills at the highest speed you can muster to try and get enough momentum to avoid dropping down to a crawling pace.

Yebbut they're still limited to 90kmh max, and I'm doing a bit more, to keep in front of them, and the ities come past me a good 4-5kmh faster, never the polish/Slovak/Romanian/Spanish wagons.
