Is driving in France like driving in the US?

Just like in the U.S. and Canada, you'll drive right, pass left. Stay to the right unless passing (don't sit in the fast lane). Use your turn signal to indicate lane changes and be respectful of other drivers. These roads are less scenic; however, they are efficient in covering large distances between major cities.
