Wouldn't it be dangerous to drive on the left side of the road in France?

“To summarise, we should drive more like les anglais,” a state official said.

This would never work in France, because in a time of war they would have to drive towards the enemy.

The “civility” of the British motorist

Brings to mind the role of the bicyclist played by Eric Idle in European Vacation. Ever the gentleman, however badly injured by Clark Griswold's driving.

The plan is to convince Gallic drivers that they are among Europe’s worst and that there is nothing glamorous about the country’s culture of excess speed, drunk driving and general road hoggery.

Just returned from a week in France. Can confirm their aggressive driving style, so different from the polite style (now fading) in Seattle.
