Practically about roundabout : keep right lane with left signal as long as you're rounding.... and right signal when you exit.
@LittrowTaurus7 күн бұрын
Actually only put the left signal if you intend to go left! If you go right put your right indicator before entering the roundabout. If you go straight : no indicator before entering. And always put your right indicator before exiting the roundabout. PLEASE DO NOT put your left indicator if you’re going straight. This new fashion is not only confusing for other drivers but it doesn’t make any sense !!

Some cars (my Skoda Enyaq being one) has a configurable speedo which is user-changeable from mphkph. Very useful.

Love the countdown on temporary road works why can that not be done here in the UK ?

Important - By law, the yellow reflective jackets must be in the body of the car NOT in the boot.

Not applicable for visiting cars (temp importation, based on the '68 Vienna UN road traffic convention). See my comment just posted for the details

Great video very interesting going over to France in July you say shops are closed on Sundays is that the same as petrol stations as well👍

Many Gas stations are located on supermarket parking and are 24/24 with CB visa. All gas stations on highway are 24/24 but very expensives... avoid them.

If you come to France with a British vehicle, just remember to drive on the side where your driving-wheel is = on the right-hand side.

Driving in France is an absolute pleasure, been doing it for 30 plus years. The French understand lane discipline unlike the half wits on UK motorways. Don't use a satnav, use a Michelin map and see the real France !!

For bread, all bakeries in France are open on Sundays ... What a silly idea to want to buy bread in a supermarket when in France? ;o)

Due to Brexit 👍 Speeding tickets DO NOT FOLLOW YOU to the U.K.! The French authorities do NOT have an agreement with the U.K. to get your details. However, this gentleman is correct about French Police and speed limits.

1:47 Are you aware of the anglo tendency to mythmongering? Probably not - you are making yourself culpable of this habit. The simple fact is that bringing one's car to another country (not only inside Europe, but in fact all over the world) is based on the rules of a UN convention, the one covering road traffic, made 1968 in Vienna - look it up. According to its rules, your car must comply with the rules of *your* country, not the one you visit. As this convention is based on reciprocity, the same is true in the opposite direction. (We're talking here about temp import, not a permanent one.) It is possible that a french cop might not be aware of these details, but if he tries to fine you, confront him with these facts, and he will must probably back off. If not him, then the office that sent him out, once written to them

You're right but it's useless if the cops don't know that... most don't.

You need to fight it through. If you have the knowledge and the motivation (and a minimum of linguistic skills), you will succeed. This principle is true for all countries on our level, and even a few others. Ceding to ignorance is plain wrong. All you do is aiding and abetting a relapse into barbary. @@northerngannetproject3147

Speaking of roundabouts. The French don't even know how to use them.
