All roads coming from the right, including diddly ones that look like driveways, have priority unless explicitly taken away from them via signage!

Don't get too worried about this as most roads have the yellow diamond on them. Even if they don't, feeder roads with give way/stop markings in the road, stop cars whizzing out on you.

Priorite a droite is usually well signed in urban districts with big signs warning you.

Unfortunately a lot of the older French people remember the days when all roads were priorite a droite so you may find the odd OAP pulling out on you.

I drove/was driven there for 4 years recently and never saw any incident under this category.

biggest problem we found was....a couple of hours to aclimatise driving in France..no problem...and a day when we came home constantly reminding ourselves "we're home now"..."don't forget"...so easy to get it wrong...lol....you concentrate more in France, but when you get home...you think you're safe....lol....the mind can wonder....especially after a long journey...

Exactly how we found ourselves, too! It felt too strange coming back, almost as if we were not doing something right!!!
