Can you take a modified car to France?

I love driving in n France. Never had problems with the police but the French definitely have a different perspective about auto property than we have. Was waiting at a peage once when the driver in front decided to reverse and join another queue. Straight into the front of me! After I got out and confronted the driver I got the Gallic shrug. It’s not the police you need to worry about but the French lack of auto respect. And best to stay off the roads after the 12 to 2 lunch break! At least every village has a pharmacy if problems occur!!

I agree - I rather drive in any European country than UK, really dread coming back after every trip. Generally, driving culture in France is better than in UK (outside of Paris), but they do tend to cut you off and checking mirrors is not their thing, but unlike UK they move over after overtaking and do not block the road. No respect for other cars thought, small incidents considered "part of driving".

Our worst journey ever was on the M6 in winter at about 6pm. 3 lanes of traffic including big lorries , all passing within a few inches of each on either side, pushing into lanes, lights blazing, rain, reflections, idiots, angry drivers. This went on for over two hours near spaghetti junction. I  swore that I would never do that very dangerous journey again.  Driving abroad has never been on that level of danger.

Absolutely - A litre of local red with lunch is not unusual. It's "obligatoire" as they say.

If it is obligatory can we copy them too or only French are entitled the 1 litre red wine? 😄
