As a UK driver who has driven over loads of Europe, I have seen sone dodgy driving,the habit of having W different name/numbers for roads,so you can accidentally follow one instead of changing motorway is a pain,but I hate the French the most,they photograph you on the motor way and off and if you have speeded it works you out and fines you,the French tend to stop and eat at a motorway restaurant,total rip off prices,but. Cheaper than a ticket,and they will park their cars anywhere,ignore one way roads and stop and walk away on one lane back roads in the city leaving you stranded,their cars are also the most beat up,I was once outside a famous restaurant - I cannot remember the name, but a rolls Royce and another expensive car were parked outside,a beaten up mini french plates tried parking between them it hit the rolls Royce then the other car before finally parking at 9p degrees and walked off! if the pavement is free they will drive on that,the French are proper maniacs. `most other Europeans are reasonable, with just occasional nutters.
was given the advice that if I were to go to France, and parallel park on a street, to not put the parking brake on, as the french would nudge their way in and make more room to park in front of or behind you, as needed. I never tried it myself.
