Got yer breathalysers? 

Yes but I dont drink.. 

[Ros]

Yeah well the Gendarmerie won't care too much about that.  They're just interested in lining the pockets of the ex president...

Isn't it November before the breathalyser thing becomes a requirement....I got some for my recent trip though, just to be on the safe side.

Rosbif is right, you have to carry them even if you don't drink.

Oh and remember a walking stick even if you haven't got a broken leg

Yes, it is a July requirement, but it will start being ENFORCED from 1st Nov

[Deon]

That's a load of     in my opinion !! Will you get fined if you don't have one ?

Seems to me that it is a good way for the authorities to save money on breathalyser equipment !!

There's often a penalty for non observance, so you probably will (if caught), 

[Winston Smith]

You do have to carry a breathalyser in France.  If you are stopped you must have one available, hence you need two in case you have already been stopped and used one, and required to supply a further test.

If the test indicates you have alcohol then a substansive one will be taken by the police on their own equipment which will be a calibrated evidential test.

It came in in July but isn't to be enforced until November 2012.

Oh, and they must be in date, so even if you have some they don't last forever!

And you will be fined if you don't have an unused one with you.

That clarifies it very well Chris, thanks, TBH I expect nothing less from you sir
