If you're going to be driving in France this summer you need to be aware 
of the new law which comes into force on 1st July requiring all drivers

to carry a single-use breathalyzer kit from July 1st.The new 
breathalyzer requirement will be added to the existing rules compelling 
drivers to carry a warning triangle and a fluorescent safety vest. 
Failure to have these in the car can lead to a EUR90 fine.

"Every driver of a motorised land vehicle, excluding mopeds, must 
possess an unused and immediately available breathlyzer," A fine of 
EUR11 ($15) will be charged to anyone not carrying the breathalyzer kit, 
but police have been told to start fining only from November 1st.

The French governement hopes having a kit in the car will allow people 
to test themselves and to give them the means to test others if they 
suspect they are over the limit. The legal blood alcohol limit in France 
is 0.5 grams per litre.
