If you’re about to drive in France (especially as a future expat), this is the stuff I want you to know before you grab the keys. I’ve been living and driving in Dijon for over 17 years, and in this video I walk you through how driving actually works here—starting with the autoroute (highway), how toll roads function, and what speed limits look like depending on the type of road you’re on. I also explain why speed cameras are such a big deal in France and how the points system can sneak up on you if you’re not paying attention. I also cover what I consider one of France’s most counterintuitive rules: priorité à droite (priority to the right). It’s one of those things that can feel “fine… until it isn’t,” and it’s exactly the kind of real-life detail people don’t always learn until after a stressful moment at an intersection. Finally, I explain the basics of converting a US or Canadian driver’s license and share the official tool you can use to check whether your license is exchangeable. And yes—there’s a quiz at the end, because I want you genuinely ready to hit the road, not just feeling optimistic.
