How's your knowledge of the French Highway Code? If it's anything like ours (or, indeed, our French), it could do with a brush up. Fortunately, today help is at hand on your Nintendo Switch thanks to Anuman Interactive and Réussir : Code de la Route.
Reminding us of the huge volume of instructional Nintendo DS software that appeared on shop shelves in that console's heyday, for a mere £26.99 you and up to four friends can compete to see who's mastered their road safety and who's got some gaping blind spots... in French. That's an important point to remember! Here are some more details from the game's page on Nintendo UK's site:
- Up to 4 players on the same screen: challenge your friends and family on their road safety skills!
- Exclusive minigames: aim for the highest score in Survival Mode and learn to recognise shapes and icons with the Road Signs Game
- 3200 questions/answers fully voiced in French, covering every official topic and more. More than 100 complete lessons and 130 levels from easiest to hardest difficulty, to be prepared for every situation.
- Custom experience: monitor your progress with the individual player profile. - - - Discover your complete results, work on your weak points and unlock trophies as you improve!
- Full compliance with the French Highway Code, featuring an Exam Mode recreating the exact conditions of the real exam. All content created by licensed road safety specialists.
We imagine there's some considerable crossover with the UK Highway Code and the US equivalent, although once again, you're out of luck if you don't speak French. The small print on the website is also worth noting:
French language only. This product is based on the French Highway Code. As a result, the game content may not be fully adapted for road regulations outside of the French territory.
If you don't speak French, perhaps now's the time to learn! It's a beautiful language and it'll make you sound at least 50% sexier. That is unless you're British and absolutely mangling the language with your uncouth accent. We like to think it's endearing, but it's almost certainly not.
Hey, Jean-Luc Picard is French and he's possibly the most British Frenchman ever! Let us know if you'll be brushing up on the basics with a wee (or should that be 'oui'?) comment below.

Hi everyone x how are u
My day is going alright. How about yours?
Wow it includes 3000 questions/answers voiced in French, count me in 😂
How do you say, "do a burnout" in French? 🤔
Also, good morning or good afternoon everybody!
@Woomy_NNYes : I'd say : "Faire un burnout" because that's a noun we often use in french work environment.
Je m'appelle Constantin.
Quelle heure est il?
@savino @zidentia a lovely relaxing day. Played sor2 again, counting down the days till Star Wars 9. I don’t know if I will like it after episode 8 but I just need to see it!x
Not had much experience with the DS. But this for me is a F2P iOS game called "Code de la Route 2019"
@Woomy_NNYes if you're referring to the practice of spinning your wheels while the car is not moving, in French it's just "faire un burn". Which is probably not mentioned in this game. If you're referring to the 21st century work-related pandemic, it's what @gurtifus said.
@savino I guess in a way I’m worried that the emperor is back, he’s a great character but if he is truly back in this film they still have to kill him by the end as it’s the end of the saga, so it feels a bit pointless. Never mind I’m sure I will still enjoy as a blockbuster film even though I’m not really a fan of the main characters. Still can’t wait!
@Dragonslacker1 @Savino I might be in the minority here, but I thought TLJ was the best one outside the original trilogy. Definitely had it's faults, but I like that it was trying break away from the past tropes and let the franchise move forward.
Backlash seems to have scared the suits, and now RoS looks to be doubling down on nostalgia to draw angry fans back. I still expect it to be good, but would have prefered to see the the series continue to evolve instead of just pandering.
@echoplex "practice of spinning your wheels while the car is not moving". Yup, that's it! If anyone told my friend they got a new car, he'd casually ask "can it do a burnout?". Childish question, but amusing to ask with a straight face. Thanks for the translation my friend.
@judaspete I love Star Wars as a whole I really do, I also liked the fact that 8 tried to go in a new unexpected direction and had some great scenes but also space flying Carrie Fisher which today still sticks out like a sore thumb to me! They also had a great actor in Benicia del toro who I feel was so underused and I wonder if he will turn up in 9. I like Finn out of the good guys the best, and my fave character in this new trilogy is general hux!
Damn, didn't wanted to pay a monthly fee to train just a little since I just train from time to time.
Thanks
Ou plutôt, merci beaucoup
@Dragonslacker1 Yeah, there are definitely some awkward moments and dialogue in Episode 8. But It wouldn't be Star Wars without that
I fully speak french but no thanks
