David’s first encounter on the road with a Frenchman. Driving to the airport in the early A.M. to depart for a trip to the U.K., in the midst of lots of traffic, a stoplight is green but there is no place for David to go because of traffic except to block the intersection. He remained where he was and the car behind him began honking his horn (common practice in France) for David to move up.
As he didn’t want to block the intersection he remained at the light and the Frenchman proceeded to get out of the car, knocked on David’s window, and who only knows what he was saying. But, David’s light turned green in the nick of time, he gave the man the international sign for “bug off” and then proceeded to drive on.
