A few weeks ago I asked my brother to drive me to hospital. Agreed time etc, no problem. So we went on the way and passed the hospital and ended up some 250km West delivering goods he says ok now we go to the hospital. Seems he didn’t realise, even though we passed it, it was noe some 300km east.
he said they have an office here - I said tge fire truck is back there waiting for a special MRI
 
There's a joke, in a not very good movie, where an Italian racing driver gets into a car and rips out the rear view mirror saying:
"The first rule of Italian motoring is 'Whatsa behind, she don't matter!'"

I discovered this is quite real on the E80 motorway, travelling from Nice to Genoa.

A driver doing 150kmh moved into the fast lane to overtake one doing the speed limit 130kmh.

Unfortunately he was only 5 car lengths in front of a Ferrari doing around 300kmh.

The results were very much not a joke.

Fortunately I was able to get off the motorway, via an exit just ahead of the crash scene.

I latter heard that several dozen other drivers, who obviously didn't think what was in front mattered very much, became part of the chaos.

The sooner Siri, or something like her, takes over the task of driving the better.
