Driving in Paris is a horror, especially if you have an expensive car.
Driving in France isn't really that much of an issue, french drivers actually don't block the left lane (like Germans do...or those from NL...we call them over here "Nur Links" ) but driving in Paris and around the Cote d'Azur can be challenging at times, I fully agree.
Not sure if Italy is the best place for driving, Italian drivers are (sorry my friends but I'm there a couple of times per year) provoked fast and drive the same way they talk...fast and uncontrolled . It is almost impossible to drive in Italy relaxed if you are driving a fast car, almost everyone, incl. Vespa drivers , wants a piece from you. They don't give up though, so I do. Example: I once had a guy following me around a mountain road near Lake Garda in his Alfa Romeo, he was keeping around 20 cm distance from my bumper, something which really annoyed me. I was doing a little bit more than the legal speed limit but this guy wasn't able to pass me, so he apparently thought I would drive faster if he keeps such a crazy narrow distance to me. At some point, I accelerated and left him behind fast in the couple of curves in front of me but a couple of minutes later, after I slowed down, he was behind me again...doing the same stuff. One instant braking and he would have been gone...most other German drivers would have done exactly that (you can't even imagine how many times I got "braked down" because I tried to pass someone on the Autobahn and I kept a much bigger distance). So no, while I enjoy Italian food and Italian hospitality and nature, I don't always enjoy driving there.
Switzerland is horrible too, I agree: Aggressive drivers...constantly in a challenge.
Driving in Germany is no fun either: We can drive fast but we have those drivers, we call them "Schulmeister", who want to teach others how to drive. On the other hand, people get provoked fast too, they brake you down or just don't let you pass them and so on. Not real fun. I like however the bikers over here, they are very fair (thumbs up, etc.) when they race you and they are, usually, careful. I also hate driving at night, especially on weekends, when the younger people are out, mostly people from Turkey, former Yugoslavia or Russia in my region. 90% of them cannot drive and while they are usually not aggressive, they tend to crash their cars fast and you are lucky, if they don't take you with them. So no, I avoid driving at nights and especially weekends over here.
