The latest Vinci Autoroutes Foundation Barometer asks French motorists about their preferred rudeness at the wheel. There are major regional differences.

Ile-de-France drivers are the most impolite behind the wheel. But a closer look at the Vinci Autoroutes Foundation's latest barometer of responsible driving* reveals that drivers in other regions surpass them in one specialty or another. Each corner of France even seems to have its own peculiarities, namely a lack of respect for traffic regulations and an obvious lack of enthusiasm for driving.

The honking champion in Occitania

So, finding horn-players in Occitanie who are both archaic and irrational isn't all that difficult: 63% of the region's drivers admit to abusing their horns. They share the same shortcomings with drivers in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (59%) and Centre Val de Loire (58%).

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, king of insults and disregard for distances

71% of those surveyed admit to verbally abusing other road users when their driving annoys or bothers them. Occitanie (69%) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (68%) complete the podium.

Drivers in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes also made mistakes, coming in second behind Parisians in the "I'm going to stick him because his driver annoys me" game. 38% of motorists in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes admit to engaging in this dangerous practice.

In Brittany, 79% of drivers don't keep their distance, 8% more than the national average. Drivers in Nantes and Pays-de-la-Loire (75%), like those in Besançon and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (74%), drive too close to the car in front.

In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, two behaviors were particularly frequent: 62% of drivers in Nice or Marseille forgot to turn on their turn signals, and 54% of drivers drove in the middle lane when no one was driving on the right.
