Driving off and not leaving your details even when no-one else is in the other car is now considered failing to report an accident! 
Coppers will chase if there is damage 
Seems to par for the course in Naples... 
Ah well -- they drive and park by touch out there. Doubt you will see many unscathed motors !
Travel further South to Malta and you will see why most bless themselves with a prayer to the Holy Mary before travelling in a car or bus! It must have some affect as accidents, although high, are not as many as you expect when you consider motorists drive on the left (legally correct), right and centre at speed (especially the taxis) without much regard for any form of "Highway Code"!
Great fun to watch though, like when a car ran into my school bus as he thought he had the right of way but didn't!
Still, with the Holy Mother watching over you there is little risk, as the man filling up cars at the garage under our "Harper House" on Crucifix Hill, just up from the Grand Harbour Customs House, proved every day. He smoked constantly whilst doing so!! Nothing went bang, much to my amazement at the time!
In Italy the same Holy Mother watches over them, and boy don't they test their faith in her!! Mind you so does my daughters Italian husband whilst driving in the UK; his car has dents, scraches and cosmetic parts missing all over it, and it is only a "56" reg!
It is in our Mediterranean blood!
