I'm not that serious saying it's only a French thing, but I've been to many countries where people don't drive like this, males included

French drivers are reputed for taking driving too seriously. A visit to a French motorway will show you what Ponrauil is talking about

I always laugh at how people are so scared at the thought of ever driving around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, hehe

Graduated in June ... Hard to find a job as a teacher here at the moment so I am currently working in a supermarket. I was tired of sitting at home doing nothing so I searched a job somewhere else. Now I work there and in the meantime I keep looking for a job as a teacher. Doing something usefull with my time AND earning money instead of only spending it

Other than that, nothing has much changed in my life ... BUT I got BJ-tickets for Dusseldorf, Munich, Nijmegen and London (Nijmegen and London GC, so Im very happy!)

Place de L'Étoile is the roundabout to drive through if you still don't understand the word "Anarchy".

No, it's actually one of the toughest driving tests in the world. We're always good in theory.

If you ever need to take example on the French, do as we say, not as we do.

Don't get me wrong, we don't drive badly, we drive egotistically (is that a word?), a bit like a child (this is mine, me first, I am the priority, etc...) and nervously. It's just our general temper I guess.

Keep in mind I'm generalising here...

You'd fit in just fine here in Jersey. Egotistical drivers - always in a hurry - drivers with attitude to spare - yup - that's Jersey
