I live in France. But I think rules are generally the same everywhere.

They aren't but as a fellow Frenchy I can help then

Be careful around radars. People tend to slow down or even hard push their brakes when they see one, so you don't want to end up ramming their tailgate.

If you drive in city center, don't worry too much about pedestrians jaywalking. If they wanna cross, stop for then when they are at a crossing and have way. If you don't, you'll lose some time for nothing, jaywalkers usually check well if they can or can't cross.

Don't worry too much about French policemen. Most of the time they don't give a damn about what you're doing, except really obvious misdeamenors (except if you look muslim).

Don't use trafic as a gymkhana. Just stay in your lane.

Don't text/read/drink/eat/blowjob and drive. Seriously. You can't do it better than the others.

Don't be afraid to take your time when you park. Other impatient drivers might honk or yell at you, but no worries, just park like you should and don't rush it, risking to dent your ride or getting a ticket.

Be polite and honest when you deal with the police. They don't like to be taken for fools or retards. You might get away with whatever you've done if you're nice (proven by myself and I'm not a woman).

Don't fool around with right of way from the right. People tend to force their way in and you don't wanna pay for their repairs.

Same goes with stop signs. Just stop your car. Losing 4 seconds is nothing compared to the fine you might get.

You can park on delivery parking spaces after 6pm and sundays.

Check your mirrors for bikes in city centers. Most of them are clueless about your field of vision, so be careful.

Breizh, baby on board or stickers in general are ridiculous.

You don't need a pristine paint. But you want a pristine paint for resale, so park wisely.

Use your goddamned blinkers.

Blink your distress lights two or three times to thank someone who has been nice to you. People might thank you by raising a hand inside their vehicle though.

Double flash by someone coming in front means there's a speed check ahead of you.

And finally: don't be an asshole. Just drive like you want other people to drive, except from speed because you know, radars.

Hey we use normal units over here. And this is only true on highway. Most of our streets aren't even that long.

To become a capable driver you must enter into a kind of zen-like state where you drive the vehicle itself by pure instinct, while you do two other things separately and simultaneously with your eyes and perception abilities.

A) you look well down the roadway where you'll be in 10 or more seconds.

B) you stay intimately alert to all the immediate kinetic dynamics happening at the moment in your immediate vicinity.

It's actually rather a higher-abstraction state of affairs which explains why typically only men can do it well.

You can avoid accidents by learning how to sense other car's KI, be careful though, you might not be able to sense a low KI twingo

Don't you have to use turn signals to pass your driving test, or is that another thing they scrapped to make it easier for people to get access to vehicles..

My friend has a foot ebrake Chrysler Voyager. Won't let anyone drive it, but from the things he can do, he is having great fun.
