The Italians sure do know how to live. Their vehicles are more beautiful, their meals more delicious and their bus drivers more distracted. Just take a look at the video after the jump to see what we mean.<br />

While jostling through the hectic traffic of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/rome">Rome</a> (of course it's in Rome, where else?) this particular driver took the time to attempt to set up his email on a new smartphone while speaking to customer service on a second handheld device. That's right, this guy was rocking two phones at once while ferrying a load of people through the city streets.<br />
<br />
Now, you may be wondering exactly how the mechanics of such a situation would play out. Our enterprising pilot took to steering the bus by using his elbows. According to <em>The Guardian</em>, the company that owns the bus service has suspended the driver pending a full investigation. Still, it's terrifying to know that this guy is likely still behind the wheel of his personal vehicle. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/17/italian-bus-driver-fired-for-driving-with-elbows-while-using/#continued">Click past the break</a> to see the full video for yourself.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/17/italian-bus-driver-fired-for-driving-with-elbows-while-using/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Italian bus driver fired for driving with elbows while using <i>two</i> phones</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/17/italian-bus-driver-fired-for-driving-with-elbows-while-using/">Italian bus driver fired for driving with elbows while using <i>two</i> phones</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 17 May 2011 14:59:00 EST.
