This might at first seem a long way off topic but in view of the fact that some of us hope to go to France for the gurdy festival season it might just be relevent.
I have heard that from 1st July it is to become law for every car to carry a breathalizer. Does anyone out there know about this? I remember a few years ago they introduced the hi-viz jacket rule at what seemed like short notice. Philip G Martin aka Drohne www.drohne.co.uk |

Yes, that's quite correct. From 1st July you must carry a portable one
if you are driving in France. It's NOT a joke. The fine for not having
one is 11Euro!
You can buy them at the channel ports. The good news is that they are
only a couple of pounds (limit in France is 50mg per 100ml of blood (30
lower than the UK).
You also need more than one (if you use it, you won't be legal unless
you still have an unused one in the car).
You are not required to actually use it, of course, just to have one in
the car!

Apologies for the multiple replies. Didn't notice the same message was
posted to several groups as CC and I just hit reply on the ones I'm a
member of so they all came through here (first named group)! Sorry.
