Road Rage

Not sure if this is necessarily the thread for it, but after driving in France for a week, I realized that the French "automotive personal bubble" is much smaller than it is in the US. People would constantly be riding my ass, and then when the road changed from 2-lane to 4-lane, they'd happily just stay right behind me at the same length between cars, not in an aggressive way at all. I kinda hated it.

FWIW this seems to have carried over to Quebec as well. Last time I was there a guy was tailgating so close I couldn't even see his headlights, so I got over as soon as physically possible without cutting off the car on my right to get out of his way, only for him to go past casually without speeding up much at all.
