I'll give you that.
But the flipside is that French motorcyclists are rotten at overtaking as a result and insist in sitting in your blind spot like a big tit until you graciously move over.

Perhaps this is due to better enforcement of drink-driving rules, I don't know. I find the level of driving courtesy to be quite high. The only real exception is tailgating, which is still a bad national habit. And maybe les Savoyards are different...
Nope, they are not!! Not only do they tailgate but they overtake with gay abandon on narrow, twisty mountain roads too :shock: :lol: :lol:
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

FEMA today:

Today the European Parliament adopted new, draft rules on EU driving licences.

- No mandatory medical test will be required when a driving licence is being issued and renewed.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

Sorry, that's what I meant to imply: les Savoyards are different in the sense of worse :D
