You are probably aware that all cars in France have to always carry a bright yellow waistcoat and a warning triangle in case of night time emergencies.
But one new rule that has perhaps received less publicity than it could have done is the requirement that drivers in France are now obliged to carry an individual alcohol breath test, and those that dont are liable to pay a small fine of 17 euros.
I havent been able to find a start date for the new law, or much else in the way of official information, but understand the law starts about now!
We dont have our own alcohol breath tests yet so perhaps its time to go shopping. If you are in France and looking for one make sure it has the official NF mark.
