Yes - European roads are small - VERY SMALL. That's why we laugh sometimes at american SUV's - We're like " Oh man, you're not gonna be able to drive that here". I think you mentioned it a couple of times . In the Netherlands car chase too. Our roads are not wide. And to be honest, Im thankful for that.

there are more narrow roads and pretty landscapes in the alps. for decades we went from germany to a campsite near venice, but for many years there was no autostrada (neither brennero nor villach udine), causing it to be an extra 3-7 day minivacation, and we always took different roads and probably have done every possible pass that exists, including _passo san boldo_ (passo sant' ubaldo) and _monte grappa_ which would be worth more reaction videos. it can be searched on wikipedia and youtube (mostly with bikes, eg SJwjzFwV-5Y which has german commentary and chapters, but also seems to have "mostly acceptable" automatic subtitles for english). btw: we were there several decades ago when there was much less traffic, but also the road had no traffic lights yet to alternate the direction, tunnels (with 200+ degree turns inside) had no lamps, and black road in a black tunnel with possible opposing cars was a bigger challenge and honking was an absolute must :-)

I'm an italian student, i live in a small town and i take a public extra-urban(?) Bus to go to school. For my experience, my bus goes to REALLY small two sided roads (even two camions menage to fit there somehow) and the bus drivers are forced to use the horn to make others know that they are there. However when its morning and its still dark out they won't use it, instead they will flash their lights so that the citizens that are still sleeping won't be disturbed, but drivers will still be able to communicate. Have a great day/night everyone! (I'm sorry for any English mistakes)

I grew up there. The filming was evidently done in the middle of summer, at the time of maximum traffic. If two local bus drivers meet, there is no problem either the problem is small and easily fixed. The trouble is created when it is full of tourist buses, driven by people who don't know the place and panic easily. And to all this are added the cars of tourists, who rightly don't know how to drive on that road. I will always remember my father-in-law who was terrified and trembling all the way down the road from Agerola, which is the town above where these shots were taken. The town is about a thousand perpendicular meters above the sea, so imagine what the road might be like. Which then joins this one.😁

The differences between buses and coaches is that coaches have very regular seating and nowadays always seat belts that must be used, whereas buses are optimized for capacity including people who stand, and getting on and off quickly. In rural areas, coaches are often used for regular lines as well. I didn't look too closely, but the red bus with the lit sign looks to me as if it's such a coach used as a bus.

The amalfi coast is the southern part of a peninsula that is coverd completely with mountains. It's located in southern italy close to Naples. While there are two roads crossing the mountains to get to the rest of Italy, this one is actually the only one connecting all the small cities along the coast. Amalfi, the city that the coast is named after played actually a major role in Italian history roughly between the year 800 and 1100. There is very little room for farming there and so people started trading very early on earning good money that way. Amalfi then became the first of the famous independent italian city republics controlling a huge portion of the trade between europe and the middle east. This is where all the nice buildings come from. Later on Venice took that role and today only roughly 5000 people are living in Amalfi. It's similar in the other small cities along the coast that are just as beautiful. So during the winter months when there are less tourist and no busses this road is fine. But during summer it gets absolutely crazy.

Narrow roads like this is quite common in europe, the added challenge with this particullar road is all the traffic and that you have a huge cliff on both sides that make it impossible to go slightly off the road. During summer season I take my truck up a road not much wider than this, but still much easier since it's in a forrest wich allow me to balance on the edge without the fear of falling off a cliff, also much less traffic and barely any trucks or busses.

Hé Ian. I'm sick (nothing major) and bored so I am sort of stalking you in real time, sorry for that 😂. But I know you like learning stuff so my two cents: unlike cars, trucks and buses are straight so if the front fits through the rest will follow. Also we do what my driving instructor called a little dance: find a little spot where both vehicles fit. The first driver goes in up until a little over his rigs length. Then the second driver starts to drive and as he does clears the road for the first driver who can steer back onto the middle of the road which moves de back of his truck towards the edge clearing the path for the second truck. And so we pivot through really tight spaces. Looking very cool to all you normal drivers. Also if it says a truck brand on the front of a bus you can only be sure that the chassis is of that manufacturer. Some brands do have their own coachbuilder (MAN, Mercedes) but you really have to be in the know. Setra is hi-end German (I'd say probably Mercedes engines). VDL is Dutch but they've bought several existing well known builders (likely DAF or whatever you order).

If you pick a random small town in Italy or Greece(or any European State, tbh), you won´t find roads larger than this. Most are just streets and became de facto roads only because of need and lack of infrastructure back in the 50s(which in some cases got fixed, but in most the room simply isn´t there). This is easily explained by the fact that most small towns were built during middle age or even earlierduring the Roman Empire, and nobody needed a particularly large road for ox-drawn carriages, people on a donkey or horse or simply walking. And this never changed for centuries. I am glad that after the horrendous urban planning of the 70s that basically was made only for cars and risked to destroy our historical city centres (the smog is awful on old stone, it damages it a lot), now things are slowly getting better, as in more reasonable, with more space taken from cars and given to pedestrians and bikes.

In 2016 I went to Majorca and rented a Fiat Panda 4x4 Mk1, I made 1086km in 10 days across the Island, it goes from sea level to + 6000 Ft elevation (including snow), the roads were like this, there were buses with tourists and what not on impossible turns, where bicycles would've collided....Since I only get sunrise on the sea in my country, the west of Majorca was magical with the Sun falling down on the sea above the horizon! But the streets were Holy crap!

If you want to see some really narrow Italian roads, have a look at the old town of Assisi. Its on top of a hill, and is incredibly old. Everything that was built after 1500 AD is called a new house there, and the streets are just wide enough for 1 car with spare room of 1 ft on each side to the walls. The biggest that can be used there are Sprinter vans, everything bigger would scrape along the window sills, and especially it wouldn't be able to get around corners of intersections. All the utility vehicles like busses, the sanitation trucks and so on, are special designs based on van sized vehicles. And in addition, during the summer the place is packed with tourists. Check out the many videos from there, its a interesting place.

The roads are so narrow because most of the roads were built when there were no cars or when there were only a few cars. These are usually the only connection between coastal cities (or even in the mountains). Expanding this is very expensive and extremely time-consuming. Especially since you would then have to change the landscape, which is neither wanted nor permitted by law in many places. For some reason the saying "The bigger the car, the smaller the ego" comes to mind.😉😁 Bus drivers do a great job everywhere. They bring us safely from A to B. But they generally don't earn enough for it. Simple Germany How to get a DRIVING LICENSE in GERMANY - A step-by-step guide for expats Is a great video.

When the two drivers stopped to talk he said "there's 5/6 pullmans, they won't let the cars through, you're gonna arrive tomorrow". It was kinda hard to understand due to the amalfitan accent and the not really great quality of the audio, I had to listen three times to understand When he got out of the window he said "at least turn the wheels no? At least turn the wheels! Move forward!"
