The scariest thing ever in France was years ago during lorry drivers protest we were driving to Spain and the traffic came to a grinding halt on a French Autoroute the opposite carriageway was empty when over a slight rise appeared four huge lorries side by side followed by at least five rows of four driving very slowly it must be one of the most menacing sights I’ve ever seen and very impressive. The French do love their strikes.
