Comments by "" (@mrpmj00) on "Traffic Is Your Fault. Here's Why. | WheelHouse" video.
I rented a car on my vacations to France in 1999 and recently in 6/2018 (stickshifts both times). Here are my thoughts: PROS (in France and Belgium): - better drivers in France and Belgium (99% of cars have a manual transmission), especially in pouring rain. - round point intersections (Americans call this roundabouts) are more efficient and prettier - roads are smoother - gas stations have way way better French bread sandwiches and Paul's bakery. - diesel cars are way more torquey and get twice the mileage. - when a car in front of you brakes suddenly, they hit their hazard lights to warn you. - U.S. drivers are not skilled because they never learned to drive a stickshift. CONS: - gas is 4 times more expensive in France. - photo radar everywhere in France. - narrow roads - fewer gas stations - gas stations are 1-way which is more efficient - motorcycles popup out of nowhere and drive between cars, sometimes a police car squeezes between you and car besides you. - when someone changes lanes into your lane in front of you, they cut across really close to the front of your car even though there's tons of space in front of you, very annoying. - when coming to a stop, they tailgate you. - Super tight Paris street parallel parking and parking structures.
