Having been in France for the last week I can tell that dickhead president of theirs the 50mph limit change will do nothing for accident stats.
Perhaps if he focussed on those who drive vans as if they are in a Grand Prix all the time it would be a start, maybe make it an offence to corner a commercial vehicle on anything other than all of the wheels it has.
Then another for driving on the wrong side of the road, a common theme especially on Alpine Roads where most drivers spend the majority of their time at least a little over the white line, and often pull out wide before a bend almost hitting us head on as we exit a corner, or they drift wide as they exit and try to take us out on our approach.
We have also had a couple veering onto our side of the road, one almost hitting the Mrs head on before swerving back with inches to spare - I am guessing using a phone at the time.
The worst are those that just overtake on corners, I assume they believe they have some mystical gift of knowing what is around the corner - not sure why as they seem to have regular near misses with us coming the other way.
Just like in Blighty the authorities have found a way to make a load of money and claim it is in the name of safety, whilst allowing the shittiest and most dangerous driving to go on unchallenged.
Or put another way, ruin things for 99% of folk, whilst making little impact on the 1% causing the majority of problems.
