(another french here).
I sadly agree on everything said here...
I would like to add that in my opinion, the main problem in France is that everything related to driving is now turned into a business.
Usually the driving test is less about driving and more about how long they can keep you in the DMV to charge you money. There is not a lot of preparation to the driving test itself in order to fail the test the first time (so they can charge you after that). I've also seen verbal agreements between driving inspectors and DMV's (I guess this is easier to do on the country side).
