Re: Un tour de France 2/2 (4.00 / 4)

As with london, Paris drivers are more aggressive but, by and large, they still know how to behave. they are more reluctant to slow down but will do so if you give them enough warning of your intention.

It is noticeable that car drivers in northern england are much more accomodating to pedestrians. In fact for a dedicated player like me it's a bit boring.

That's interesting. For the sake of further comparing our senses of safe drivers, I am curious: have you been to

Italy (Northern and Southern),
Greece,
the rest of the Balkans,
the new EU members?

No sorry, not been to any.

I was in czech republic recently, but never met traffic enough to worry about it.

that said, I'll be in Bulgaria next week so I should have a chnace then. But I'm not sure that traffic will be intense where I'll be.
