I think the mini who decieded he wanted to get off the motorway only to find the exit blocked with cars so simply hit his brakes and stopped in the middle of the lane had god on his side, and not a coach load of ducati freaks in his boot

excelent observation by the driver and good reaction to the situation.
As for the drive through Bologna, i now know why the coach was so clean on the outside, the pedestrians coats and scooter riders jackets slideing down the sides
As you say 888heaven top marks to the driver
