Richard Hammond faced an angry driver during the trailer premiere of The Grand Tour Presents: Carnage A Tois.
For the special, the presenter (51 years old) is returning with James May, 58 and Jeremy Clarkson, 61.
Richard is seen explaining to an angry driver in the video that he was taking him around a circuit ‘the French’.
Awkward: Richard Hammond was confronted by an angry driver in the new trailer for The Grand Tour Presents: Carnage A Tois
This unique rule is applicable in France, which gives motorists who approach a roundabout the right-of way. In contrast to other countries that give priority to vehicles on roundabouts, this applies in France.
Richard can be seen saying to a man: “I’m doing it the French way roundabout.”
He shouts back, “I don’t care!” It’s all stacked up. Move it.
Richard looks at the camera and then says, “This is what happens.”

Here’s the complete synopsis: “In this lockdown special, three men dive into the strange world of French car culture.
“On an epic road trip that began in the Welsh hills they offer a thrilling mountain climb, bomb defusals and propeller-powered cars stunts, as well as the fastest race of their lives, before finally reaching the English Channel to witness a stunning medieval finale. There’s also a lot of French arthouse cinema.

Meanwhile, co-host Jeremy is adding to his homegrown produce by launching his own beer.
Hawkstone, the presenter’s new Lager, will be sold in his Diddly Squat Farm shop. His adventures there have been featured on a popular Amazon Prime series.
Jeremy spoke to The Sun and admitted that his marketing plans had been thwarted. His slogan, which encouraged alcoholics, was overruled in the Advertising Standards Authority.
He admitted that he was an alcoholic and should not be fighting it but feed it.
There’s so many things you don’t know. For example, “This is a delicious breakfast beer” — they won’t allow it. It is very monotonous. It is very dull.
Business: This is what happens after Jeremy, co-host, launches his own beer
Growing the barley on his farm, the lager will be available for sale online and in Jeremy’s farm shop but he hopes it will eventually be stocked in pubs and supermarkets.
The star admitted that he was inspired to launch the new venture after being told at school that he ‘couldn’t organise a p*** up in a brewery’.
‘I wanted to have a brewery so I could have a p ***-up in it. I’m able to go back and tell my former careers teacher, “You see?” You were right! It’s a well-crafted beer. It’s my mission to dominate the world. I will not accept anything less.
Amazon Prime Video will be streaming The Grand Tour Presents: Carnage A Trois on Friday, 17 December.
