I do quite a lot of continental driving
Give way to everything is my advice, and plot your course through junctions etc. well in advance, even if that means stopping and 'assessing' the situation/route ( you will only get abuse not damaged ! )
Above all take your time and dont be intimidated by the locals
Just think of all the smug satisfaction you are giving to the drivers who think they have got one up on you !
In France particularly remember that the driver ( 6feet ) behind doesnt just want to be in front of you, he wants to be exactly where you are !
Also breakdown insurance, never had to use it myself but have seen the grief that ensues if you havent got it
Travel insurance (£50.00 a year for a couple ) is well worth it as well, yes emergency cover is free but not aftercare or medical repatriation
Good Luck
