Polremy Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Maybe they're going to sell them at the gendarmarie. After all, they're not going to need them now are they?Nice little sideline peut-etre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoss Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Does anyone know - are these proposed gizmos once only or multi-use? - When are you supposed to blow into them? - do you keep the things after you blow into them as evidence you're not drunk if you get stopped?If you have the required number in the car, does that allow you to drink and drive?

Quillan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I know nothing on how these things work but a few locals round here don't see a problem. Arrive at the restaurant, blow in the bag then go have your meal. Except with systems connected to the car this is going to be wide open to abuse. The more I think about it the more I am convinced that Sarkozy has a share in the manufacturing business or somebody in his family has.

Chancer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Cant see it ever happening especially retrospectively, perhaps for new vehicles, that would be one way to stop the flow of imported LHD cars into France, no doubt there will be loads of forms to fill out and expensive attestations to pay for to prove conformity but no contrôles.I suppose its only fair though, the manufacturers, sorry sellers (no_one manufactures in France any more) of floursecent gilets are having a lean time at the moment.

just john Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well I'd dismissed all this absurdity as yet another kite being flown, impossible to imagine anyone voting for it? However having now been made a subject of BBC news (which incidently I'd rather watch than any Mrs Browns brainless Boys) stated that 'those planning a forthcoming trip to France, may now need to take a Breathalyser as well as a Sat Nav device that does not include detail of speed camera locations'Is it all row-locks or have the idiots actually made it compulsory?PS: on the intent of the Bananas, it is perfectly clear what their intentions are, since neither are Bajamas in Pajamas[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 There is, as far as I can ascertain, no current legislation in force requiring the carrying of these things, just proposals.Yet another bit of stupid pre-election bolloxEbay, if you want onePersonally, I don't drink and drive in any way shape or form and would totally resent being told to carry such a stupid bit of kit..

Quillan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 In the mean time by the end of 2011 road deaths have fallen for the third consecutive year in France.http://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/2012/01/04/01016-20120104ARTFIG00463-routes-le-nombre-de-morts-a-encore-diminue-en-2011.phpAll this breathalyzer thing seems a bit pointless really except for whoever is going to be coining it by selling the things.
