Я получила немалое удовольствие от поездки по Франции в сопровождении англичанина-водителя. Сперва я подумала, что моё негодование от поведения французских водителей на дороге было связано с резким контрастом между их манерой вождения и учтиво-вежливым поведением моего шофёра, но немногим позже мне удалось переговорить с француженкой и она мне поведала о всей ситуации:
- Как только ты поймёшь, как нужно водить во Франции, то сразу же осознаешь, что каждый норовит задеть тебя, — сказала моя собеседница.
- Но такое имеет место только в Париже, не так ли? Должно быть, провинциальные водители несколько более вежливы, чем столичные задиры? — спросила я.
- Нет, — со смехом ответила мне француженка.
@Danelaw Been to both countries. Italy is worse. I'd say Naples is worse than Rome. I took a taxi in both countries and cities, but only felt like my life was in danger in Naples. I've seen a bus take the sidewalk to get around someone. :/
@Zuperkrunch No, Boston drivers are worse. The two Hanover streets that cross each other don't help.
Although, in my city, three Redbud streets cross each other, so I can't really complain.
@Zuperkrunch Russia is also pretty bad. There's a youtube channel devoted to how bad drivers are, and about 95% of them are Russian. This is because many people buy driver's licenses instead of passing the test.
@Zuperkrunch
Traffic rules are significantly different in places like India and China... to the point that to an outside observer, it might look like there AREN'T any.
Some of those drivers then come to western countries where the road rules are a bit more... hmm... "firmly organized" and seem as though they're acting almost randomly. :P
@Hinoron I read not only in China and India but Dubai and Israel too.. Mostly Asian.. We drive really aggressively.. Lol.. And then migrate to others continent..
I also love how in England we flash our high beams as a way of saying thanks or to say, 'no please, you go first.' It's a clear way of communicating, but I hate getting head lights in my eyes. whereas in France this is supposedly the opposite.
