The last time I was in Paris I saw a car push another car to create a parking space. I assume it's normal to leave the handbrake off so everyone can do this. I was shocked, the bloke just got out as if he did it every day.

There are no parking rules. Just stop and walk off.

It is the norm apparently in Paris you leave your handbrake off to make it easier for the Parker to push your car
 
Cars are just a necessary evil to the French, there is no car culture as there is in the UK. Unless you are an oligarch who can afford membership of the men only Automobile Club De France.

When I see a car being driven badly especially on the motorway I see if I can guess what the driver will be like if I pass them and I guess correctly far more often than I guess incorrectly.

On long motorway journeys for work we used to play bird or bloke.
 
Keep hearing all this rubbish about French drivers , me personally find the French roads a dream to drive on , the drivers are no worse than a lot on U.K. , (expect once) roads are ten better than U.K. roads , a lot less traffic jams than U.K. , yes Paris is bad but so is London , I avoid both , driving on the wrong side of the road flows for me , I’ve never had problems adjusting to French roads as soon as I pull of ferry , always have to think when back in U.K.
 
I’ve never been on either french or London roads so can’t really comment
Agree there are bad drivers to be found anywhere though, I’ve met a few ( married one)
 
It's certainly a whole lot quieter on the roads. They do like to tailgate though.
