| I think it's a good approach. They have reduced of about 2000 dead people on the roads in 3 years or something like this. That's very good. I like that kind of policy, because it's the only one which can work with us, French people.
Unfortunately we are still some kind of "Gaulois" (our ancestors). We like to eat, we like to drink, dance and sing. We are not very polite, and we don't like people who are not polite with us. And more than everything, we don't care about rules... we might only respect rules which suit us.
That's why there is no other solution to make the French drive better than forcing them to drive slower. You want to drive fast? Fine, you'll have to pay for speeding. I even think we need more and more of your speed cameras, as soon as drivers are aware of them. There is no trap, you have been warned. That's the way to deal with us. And it works. Of course the governement is not loved, you don't like when you're forced to do something. But the way French drive is changing, I noticed it last year...  |
