I'm racking my brain to find any real value in a law like this. Roll Eyes

Personally, I already know when I've had a drink.

If you do not want to part with any cash, then concider the following;

You also required to have in your car, again, "in your car", not the boot, that is not in your car a florescent vest for every occupant. To be safe, it is recommended that you have a vest per seat regardless. Remember, the boot is not classed as in the car. Failure to abide by this will cost you €115

Sat Nav, on or off it does not matter, if your sat nav has the ability to display speed camera locations, whether the French mapping is loaded or not, will get you a fine of €1500. Just to remind you, even if your sat nav is off, you can still be fined. The only way around this, is to password protect your sat nav. The police then have no legal right to access it without the approval of a judge.

And lastly, disagreeing or arguing the toss with one of France's finest is also a crime and punishable by emptying your wallet............On than one trust me, and learn from my experience Roll Eyes

Ridiculous laws. They clearly exist to get as much money out of people as possible. The breathalyser one is particularly dangerous - It goes against the norm of '0.0 is the only safe limit' by allowing drivers to accurately see how much alcohol is in their system.

You might be legally able to drive, but that doesn't make it safe. I fear lives are more at risk - Before, if you'd be drinking you would have to take a taxi or sleep it off to have certainty over your state. Now though, you can see when you pass that magical line and believe that you can operate a vehicle.
