AnOther Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 [quote user="Pickles"]1) That carrying a breathalyser in a car should be mandatory 2) That failure to produce one if requested during a controle should not be punishable by a fine.[/quote]What a load of rollocks !How can something be mandatory yet carry no penalty for non compliance ?Why they don't just forget the whole debacle I don't know, these sort of half arsed compromises only serve to make them look even more inept and indecisive than they do already.

sid Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It was only annouced on 24th January that this was being abandoned, and now it's back again! How ridiculous.Probably all those people who bought packs of testers (me!) have thrown them away (me!) and will have to buy new ones (not me, I'm not falling for it again!). It's just a moneyspinner for someone with connections! I must go and take my anti-paranoia medication. http://www.service-public.fr/actualites/002384.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I saw them for sale in Halfords today and wondered why! I have no idea whether the Halfords ones are aux normes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Presumably they've bought in stock so even if they know about the indefinite suspension how likely do you think it's going to be that they would voluntarily tell anyone [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Actually I did not bother to question it at the time as I had no need to buy the things.[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbie Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 What is the current situation about breathtesters in your car. Have they annouced when they will be enforcing the law? Are they available at supermarkets in France now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 On March 1st the breathalyser saga came to an official end. The governmenthas decided:1. A breathalyzer is obligatory in all motor vehicles.2. There is NO penalty or fine if you do not have one.This is only the second law in Francewhere not following it carries no sanction; the other law is the obligation toregister to vote. Here is the official decree published on March 1st: http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000027119723&dateTexte=&categorieLien=id Presumably because the police are involved, it's a criminalrather than civil issue. Will it be technically possible to gain a criminalconviction as a result of not carrying a breathalyser while not actually beingpunished? I'm told by friends around the country that these tests are much more available, although I haven't looked for any myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Zoff Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 They are, but apparently no penalty for breaking the law. Presumably goes down on your record somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
