To the Editor,

The letters from two readers about aggressive driving (June, Connexion) struck a chord with me.

Letters: high death toll on French roads is no surprise

When I came to live in France 34 years ago, I had been living in Germany for a total of 22 years. The driving there was fast but not reckless or dangerous.

Now, if I see a local driver at the wheel of an Audi, a BMW or a Mercedes, I shudder.
