you certainly need to have your wits about when driving abroad, when in traffic that is ,when there's no traffic the drive is very relaxing..

I was wondering why it was that cars kept on pulling in and out like yo yo's when making progress up the motorway, rather than staying out and keeping an eye out in the rear view mirror for an approaching car. The thing I found downright dangerous over there is how many cars will just pull out I'm sure without checking - you really have to be ready to stamp on the brakes when overtaking ...

If you are in the overtaking lane and a French driver comes up behind you they will often put their indicator on and flash their lights to show they want to pass. It is not an agressive thing, like it would be deemed in our country, but just how they drive.
