Breathalysers in France.

From the AA website:

From 1 July 2012 all drivers in France are likely to be required to carry one or more portable breathalysers in the car.

The French government hasn't published detailed regulation changes yet so we can't confirm what type of device or how many must be carried, nor can we confirm the actual implementation date.

It is likely - as was the case when requirements to carry reflective jackets were introduced - that there will be an advisory period before on-the-spot fines apply.

We expect more detail in March sometime.


Early warning for next winter. From 1 January 2013 all drivers and passengers of a motorcycle over 125cc or a motor tricycle over 15 KW/h must wear reflective clothing when riding their vehicles and in the event of an emergency stop/breakdown.

Clothing must have a minimum reflective surface of 150cm2 (approx 23in2), either in one piece or in several pieces, and must be worn between the neck and waist.
