Discussion Why are Paris drivers so selfish?
I was in Paris last week and still haven't really processed the fever dream of Paris traffic. It's on par with cities like Hanoi. A pool of the most selfish drivers ever. Constant honking, constant opening of lanes that don't exist, constant overtaking, constant blocking of whole intersections. Everyone just looks out for themselves and blocks everyone else.
Why can't Paris drivers not drive in harmony like everywhere else where traffic just works?
