I was one of the fifteen American drivers who knows what turn indicators are for and how to use them.

The two people who cut off the @#$#@ in question were in the wrong lane at a tool booth and instantly changed lanes, cutting across the Do Not Cross white line without using turn signals. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

Italian driving ancedote:

Many decades ago, my step-father was in Rome (or Milan) and rented a car. He wound up getting stuck in a traffic circle for *hours*. When he finally escaped the circle, the first and last place he went to was the car rental agency to return the vehicle.
