You’ve described my driving experience and that of friends/family to a “T”.
Can’t pay me to drive in France (well, outside of cities, maybe).
Britain… Well there can be some inconsiderate knobs, but in somewhere like London it’s as bad as Boston or New York, maybe worse in it’s own way due to the city being 1000 years old, with lots of growing pains. (Which is why Boston is a good comparison - they have similar organic growth).
I did rush hour in Paris once. Made NYC look like F1 racing. You want to go? you physically insert your car in front of them or you’re not going ANYHERE.

Driving in Seoul is thousands of people staring straight forward because if you don’t look at other drivers, they have to let you in.
Of course, the diesel SsangYong I had was all I needed to tell them “You should wait for the light.”
It was also common for cars to park anywhere and leave their phone number on the dash so you could call them to let them know you were blocked in.
It was so much nicer to just take public transit.
