Oh Dear, the memories.
I've travelled those areas many times with the coaches. I used to dodge the tunnels and go over the top to give the tourists a decent view/experience. Couldn't do it in the winter though. One August while the passengers were having breakfast I was scraping snow off the coach windscreen.
You are correct that some of the hairpins are tight But then I have taken a coach up Vesuvious and negotiated all the bends without reversing, though the first time was a bit frought, IIRC two of them caught me out. Soon learnt the best approach.
On one of our Yugoslavia tours I used to do an overnight at Lake Como and on the return at Lake Maggioro. We had to stop them when the silly buggers started shooting at the coaches.
