Keep right?
So, I thought the rule of the road in France was "keep right". Isn't it?
Well, if that's the fucking case, then why is it that every time I go round a blind bend here, there's some fucking fucker on my side of the fucking road?
True but at least the tractor driving farmers are happy to pull over and let you past.
Unlike the miserable fuckers in the UK who revel in a two mile tailback and would rather see you drive head-on into an oncoming truck than pull into the numerous lay-by spots they gleefully pass.

Their country, their rules.
That's how they drive.
Are you telling the French how to drive on their land, Obo?
That's a bit, I don't know, intimidatory and arrogant, isn't it?
They are not driving by their posted rules. It's not their private land either. ;o)
Could have sworn I just saw some bloke defending the French there.
I think I'll go and lie down.

Keep Right I say.
"It's not their private land either. "
Badum - tish!
Of course, as ever, the 'Daily Mash' has the quintessential post:

@JuliaM: It's part of the cosy cabal I have with them. ;o)
Heh!
Perhaps MI5 is onto you Obo. Be extra careful in the tunnels. You haven't fallen out with The Duke Of Edinburgh have you?
I don't like the word 'cabal', Obo...makes them sound cool and powerful.
I prefer 'Country Club'. Infers snobbery and effete pomposity. Which applies to one or two of the cunts I have in mind.
Fair enough JD. I'll bear that in mind. :o)
I think I can explain.
You're supposed to close your eyes on bends in France.
It's an on the spot €80 fine if plod see you paying due care and attention, and not having a bottle of Beaujolais open in the cup holder.
p.s. My favourite place to drive in the whole of Europe is northern Italy.
Wall to wall mentlitude, and I fit right in :o)
Al , North Italy is nowt.
You ever driven in/around Naples?
It's the thunderdome. We're talking "rabbits-are-eating-my-face" mad.
I actually saw people fucking in the front seat whilst they undertook me doing 100mph.
Naples, home of Triple Parking. On main roads.
