@PowderAdict, my car works out the speed limit automatically (from road signs, GPS and the weather) but this doesn't stop Frenchmen people trying to get a tad close from the rear. Any suggestion on how to discourage these French nutcases?
You mean to say the French and other nationalities don't comply with driving distance regulations
France
The Road Code says that the driver must keep a safe distance between his/her vehicle and the vehicle in front in order to avoid collision if the car in front brakes or stops. The safe distance corresponds to the distance covered by the vehicles in at least 2 seconds. Outside urban areas, drivers following vehicles weighing more than 3.5 t or measuring 7 metres in length at the same speed must stay at least 50 meters behind the vehicle in front.

I always find that moving across to the right hand lane solves the tailgating problem
rather hard on a single lane road but still, if you like driving into a hedge or the ditch go ahead.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@davidof,

Tailgaiting in France, tell me about it. Sometimes they are so close you can smell their bad-breath.
The next generation of speed cameras that are being installed in France can detect lots of offences including tailgating, undertaking, seat belt and many more so at least it's unlikely to be tailgated in their vicinity.

That is until the yellow jackets set fire to them
@davidof, Thread drift I know, you mentioned your son taking his driving test (How fast have the years past!) what is involved - I see fleets of identical cars on a track circuit for learners very occasionally an Auto Ecole car on the streets and then the P sticker on a slow moving car on the motorway.
How does the French driving test work?
