Driving in France, brethalyser kit a legal requirement.
I've just seen a camping shop selling breathalyser kits with a notice stating it's a legal requirement to carry one when driving in France from July. How long before the cops here decide they can save money by breathalysing you with one that you have had to fork out for rather than them. Has anyone else heard about this?

Typical. A new tax. I'll be buying those that always show negative. Might cost a bit extra but it'll be worth it.

Hadn't heard about it, but after a quick flick through found this:

Seems the French are so hard up, they are trying to catch out foreign travelers with expensive motoring fines due to the complexity of their driving laws.

RE: Driving in France, brethalyser kit a legal requirement.
Are the brethalyser kits one use though? So if you've had a glass or two of vino, use the kit and you're okay to drive... Then you get stopped by the French 5-0, who ask to see your kit. You don't have one. Ah, monsieur, zat vill be 300 Euros si vous plais...
On a side note, getting caught speeding in france has always been a nightmare. The old man got stopped heading back to Calais, 2 police motorbikes got him. Wanted cash there an then. Unfortunately he had none, so they made him follow them to a cash machine to get the money out!

Right up to the time when she points out that France is broke and Germany isn't.
He's a socialist and there are so many types of that brand.
Good, bad, and I'm going to be rich, to name a few.
