We have pretty high standards for our drivers licences. It usually takes months of lessons to get one. But still we rate ourselves always as very aggressive. Especially in the Randstad there's a lot of bumper pushing, right hand over taking etc.
I once saw on the news that Dutch drivers were rated the most aggressive in Europe. Dunno if it's true though, couldn't find any source of it.

Usually the Russians behave the worst in everything and after that the Dutch, in driving too.

Yes, i believe that's true, like the Dutch kids on holidays... And our media covering it like it's something to be proud of. I guess we have a pretty bad rep in other countries

Worse, Italian and French and people from Madrid.
Funniest, Germans in a large Mercedes, they drive the car as it was a panzer.
English are careful, they are scared, I would also be scared to drive in England.

Pianura Padana is a geografic term. Here people use it pretty neutrally. Padania... not sure.

I thought Bologna was already too south / leftist / liberal to be included in the Lega Nord program, but we have a few Forza Nuova activists here though. A very small minority.

Also, let's not forget that Mussolini was from Romagna. I have yet to visit his birthplace.

I believe the Po is the unofficial border. Was once in Brescello (Don Camillo's place) and there was a Lega Nord office.
