Yes, thats what I wpuld have expected instead of thos hand signals… pilot clicks on button and other machines get a message light up or similar… well those italians they can do anything
BTW… today its called Brights or Full Beam on european streets
…In the days before the ‘dip or dazzle’ device.
2 funny things..
It’s in Italy and post war. They would drive like maniacs and ignore any signaling.
Also, he is driving a 2CV. I think they had around 12 hp back then and would be incapable of passing a bicycle.
1948ish Fiat Topolino Convertable
The cover comes off both the car AND the driver’s head.
