Car rental Lorient, France

Car Rental Lorient – Must Know

In cities you must drive not faster than 50 km/h, in the countryside – not more than 90 km/h, and you can speed up to 110 km/h on the highways. For the drivers to slow down in residential areas you’ll see a big number of "speed bumps". Traffic signals are usually located on the right-hand side, on the sidewalk, instead of overhead in the middle. It’s illegal to overtake on an inside lane unless traffic is being channeled in a different direction. Public transportation has the advantage in France, so usage of the dedicated lane for buses is strictly prohibited.
