@luc At least in Greece I never got almost run over a car over 3 times, eventhough I was on a pedestrians crossing and cars had a red light.

Ranting is good, it relieves you from otherwise built-up frustration. I do it al the time
I too am perplexed at the unwillingness or inability of Italians, even young ones, to speak or understand English, BUT…
…having driven in every European country and capital (and a few beyond that, try Jakarta), I’m afraid to say that your initial thought about Greek drivers (or at least Cretan ones) was the correct one. I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Italian drivers. I.m.n.s.h.o. they behave like choir boys compared to what I see my fellow citizens pull off every day driving around Iraklio…
