Are they serious? Surely they can come up with a better excuse for closing.

This must be some kind of inside joke, so... a little bit more context for this story would be nice, for those of us not in the know.

Seems pretty ridiculous - why Italy? We, too, have a mandatory seatbelt law. I agree that this must be an inside joke...

I don't think it's an "inside" joke at all. It's a perfect example of how Hot Doug's operates and their tongue in cheek humor. I think it's hilarious.
