Today I drove in France for my first time ever! I was a wee bit nervous because their roads here are a lot smaller and they have different driving rules. My host mom freaked me out yesterday when she started to explain the rules and she told me about how you have to give priority to the right. It's weird to explain, but basically if I'm on a certain road, they don't have a stop sign, and neither do I, but somehow I'm just suppose to know to stop and give them way... It's weird.
So today my host dad asked me if I would like to go on a car ride with him. I would drive and he would show me around and explain some of the rules. So yeah, I'm not going to go into all the rules, because they're hard to explain if I'm not showing you. It's not exactly difficult, but it is a little different and well I'm just gonna drive extra cautiously and probably slow down and stop at intersections even if I'm not suppose to.
My host dad says I did really good, and after a little I did feel better about driving. But once again, I do know I'm just going to be really really cautious. My host dad also realized that there are a lot of right priority streets in this town. He hadn't really realized it before, until now when he had to explain it all to me. He says in some other town it's easier because they have more street lights. So yeah... that's that.
