thank you for this. that explains a lot. it just seems like some of the higher ends would continue to do a IDGAF and continue with ICE. so i would understand at least some mixing. that there is a certain art to the higher engineering. but oh well, if EV is the future and everyone is embracing it, we’ll see what comes.

that seems like a logical answer. i was wondering, since it seemed like lately a bunch have jumped on the all EV train. thank you! :)

i hate to tell you but i side with your wife. on a french rond point, i would stick to the outside even if the straight was 210°, because often there are side outlets but not major arteries (except maybe the right turn). if i am on the road that is going “straight,” might as well stick to the rule of the road,…

i’ll just post the latest obligitory 11'8"+8" video in case someone does not know the pleasure of seeing people do foolish things with high clearance vehicles. :D

can someone tell me why sportscar makers feel compelled to switch completely to EVs?

very bad! you must punish yourself with cheap wine!

now that is just evil! though i bet they learned quick enough! :)

i used to substitute postman, and the road names are often nightmares because you can go the length of one and have three different names for the same road at different intervals in the same village. the problem is god knows how old some of those road names are, often they are what trade was done at that section.

helps if you are merging on if people use their signals. :)

this was my thinking, but my wife corrected me to the proper way here. if i would have to say that why it is so, from experience, it is because the inside lane is slower in pulling out into the circle. the outside lane to go right and straight circulates faster, only one lane of traffic to worry about.

the french are content to bend and ignore the rules as they see fit. the key is letting them getting away with it often enough, then your government will not have too much trouble.

1) the cars entering have to yeild, cars on the rond point do not. though, commonly people not familiar will try to do this and it totally screws up the flow and what people are anticipating.

here’s the rules of lane use for a french rond point. after about 8 years of giving other drivers the stink eye for what i thought was negligant lane use, my french wife finally corrected me. asking why i did it the way i had been. i was using the inside lane to go straight. you are supposed to use the outside one to…

i want a citroen 2CV with suicide doors, but modified with a roll bar and good seats, and made into an EV. i want to paint it matte black and put a jolly roger on the hood and doors. :D

there is only one channel for me... too bad he stopped about a year ago. i loved watching these. )

it’s a lease, so you pay that 3500€ up front, and then it is a 4 year lease at 19€ per month for the most basic. you can buy these too, though i am failing to find the price right now, and either way you can get a 900€ eco subsidy. :)

this what a majority of the local high-schoolers drive here, either the little putt-putt quadricycles or these electric amis and twizys. the other day i saw three teenage girls fit in one ami, leaving the lycée, with one sitting in the trunk! :D

i see these on the road and they corner well on the rond-points, even at 50km/h! :D

this confused me so i looked at the wiki, it’s 107,5200 per square mile... huge difference in density... ;)
