    Breath Testing in France

    Expect hoards of froggie coppers hanging around Calais picking on Brit number plated cars in the Summer.

    The kits, costing up to £2

    Oh no, I will never be able to afford a trip to france now!

    The french police don’t hang around calais checking for florescent vests and safety triangles, I doubt they will bother about these as well.

    Is it a reusable test, I wonder. It’s only a 10 euro fine anyway. It seems a bit pointless, not sure if it would stop someone driving after a drink if they were so inclined.

    I carry all the other stuff in the car anyway, high viz, triangle etc, so I may as well get one of these and stick it in the boot for when I go away.

    But it says on the Internet and in the Daily Mail that they do 😕

    If they actually don’t, I’m going to have to re evaluate where I get my “facts” from :mrgreen:
