No they don't but be careful anyway... British ski/drivers are on the
opposite side of the road, often on summer tires in what can be
difficult winter driving conditions.

My personal experience is that Brit drivers are generally pretty good in
the Alps compared to some of the risk taking locals but I have seen some
complete idiots (usually 4x4 drivers) driving excessively fast in very
marginal conditions.

Heh - driving back down to Bourg St Maurice on the 13th May this year -
30 cm of new snow on the roads - season had ended, so no gritting or
salting going on - complete skating rink even with 4x4 and snow chains.
Just before the Pigette tunnel I saw what looked like the back of my
car pulled up against the side of the road with the Gendarmes in front
of them. French plates. As I pulled level I saw that where the front of
the car should be, there was a mangled mess. He'd come over the damn
thought "I'm home free!", floored it and spun straight into the side of
the road.
