Well my cousin has kindly posted over to me a couple of the Breathalyser test things for France. I think they cost under 2€ per pack of 2 in the French supermarkets, whilst the ferry companies are charging £10! I am really confused why we still need to carry these items, was it not the case that when the new government came into France a year or so back, that they annuled the law that said these test kits are mandatory. I believe the original law was for a 12€ fine or similiar if you did not have at least 2 of the testers in your car. Can this law still be enforced, if not why are UK travel firms still saying that we must carry these Test kits whilst in France.

Hi paul&julie.
I think you may have hit the nail on the head, the fact that these Test kits are being discussed is probably what the French government had in mind, they would have recond that having the French motorist discuss about these kits then awareness about drink driving would increase, even if the Test kits are not even accurate, it does not matter as a drink driver will still drink and drive, but maybe a few regular drivers will have second thoughts about drink driving, due to these kits being around, whether in law or not.
Replacing the Test kit as the use by date comes around will be just a reminder, all very clever when you think about it, and even if just one life is saved, then the controversy has been worth it.
