The French have a reputation for not being the most conservative drivers in the world.
A couple of hints as to why this might be: most cars in France are either liberally scratched

missing and there is generally a noticeable absence of wheel trims. The four-wheel drive
vehicle that appeared was an extreme example and should have been yet another omen.
