Traffic control in France? I've driven round the Arc de Triomphe in a UK reg car, and believe you me I would rather have a spin round the Wall of Death on a defective motorbike. Took me about 10 minutes before any frenchie would let me get off the roundabout. The trick is to not use your mirrors, not indicate and just 'go for it'. Unfortunately when you're driving an undented, newish car it takes a lot of nerve to drive like the French! I'll take the Eurostar next time!
