“To be honest, car traffic is scary. I’m driving and I’m scared. Because there are no rules at all. You can be overtaken from the right side, and from the left side. Nobody uses turn signals. Drivers don’t respect the lines, that is, they don’t drive inside the lines. Turning to the left is also difficult for me. I think there are a lot of accidents here,” the diplomat said.

Brice Roquefeuil noted that it is very difficult to obtain a driver’s license in France.

“It is necessary to toughen the requirements for obtaining a driver’s license. We have radars, they check everything. In France, driving at a red light is a major violation; your driving license may be taken away from you. People are pretty careful because losing your license is a big problem. You don’t even try to negotiate with the traffic police. This is a set of measures that allow you to gradually reduce the number of accidents and victims. There were also many road casualties in France. We need to invest in highways to have infrastructure, lighting and high-quality roads. It helps,” he said.

The diplomat also said that it is important to develop rail transport as it helps to reduce the number of trucks on the roads.
