Reading just this sentence tells me this woman does not live in Italy or Greece.

Indeed. I can get really angry at car drivers while I am biking to work. Sweden still has a street-design and mentality of the 1960 when bikes did not exist here.
However, police here does nothing....I am biking here for more than 3 years and I have never once seen police officers handing out fine for driving through red lights etc.
Incredibly frustrating.
