Italian driving mentality

I always wanted to write something about driving in Italy. Firstly how lost and shocked I was here and refused to be a driver myself; then how slowly I adjusted to rule-less streets and started driving like a Roman (within my rational limits). Now I almost drive like they do (not paying attention to lanes), I leave a car in seconda fila (although always with remorses), I pass on yellow lights (but green are very short while yellow long here), I find narrow corners to park... One can get used to anything! 
But there are still some things I cannot accept and will never do. The Italian driving mentality. Treating red lights as a warning not order (every day I see cars passing on red). Driving after drinking and not even thinking it could be inappropriate (how would they get to aperitivo if not by their own vehicle? 'Buses are untrustworthy, taxis so expensive'). Letting toddlers drive on a front seat or in motorino (witnessed both cases). Parking on pedestrian crossing. Not considering any of it as a violation is deeply rooted in their heads and I doubt any (r)evolution will happen shortly. Unfortunately.
