Tourists in France told to wear breathalyzers in their cars.
If you are planning a vacation driving in France, you will have to add a breathalyser kit in the list of equipment you need to carry with you this summer.
Motorists are already legally required to have a warning triangle and a fluorescent safety vest with them at all times.
And from July, all who travel the country by car will also have one of breathalyzers kits so they can test to make sure they are in BAC limits.
Big fines Limit alcohol to French driving is much lower than in the UK.
Drivers who are caught without a kit will face a fine of 11 euros 9 but there will be a grace period until November before the French police begin to issue sanctions.
Disposable breathalyzers kits cost between about 1 and 2 and will be available in the terminal ferry and tunnel crossings to France.
Motorists are advised to wear at least two breath tests kits so that they themselves controlled by, they can still show the police that they have a kit ready for use if the stop.
The police, however, use their own breathalyzers for testing roadside.
The limit of alcohol in French driving is 50mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood - much lower than in the UK where the limit is 80 mg.
Motorists found with between 50 mg and 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood can be fined 135 euros and 112 losing six of the 12 points on their driving license.
In addition, a driver could be fined 4,500 euros 3,744, lose their license and be sent to prison for two years.
Motorists driving rules in France are already legally required to have a warning triangle and a fluorescent safety vest to use in an emergency.
French police should carry out random checks on drivers crossing into France via Calais to ensure they understand the latest rules drunk driving.
But critics have questioned the accuracy of breath testing kits to be able to tell if a driver exceeds the limit.
Andrew Howard, head of AA Highway Safety, said early readings could be misleading because it takes time for alcohol to be absorbed into the blood.
He said after having had your last swig of alcohol, your reading will continue to rise for the next 40 minutes, because it takes time for alcohol to go down into the stomach and be taken into the bloodstream.
Keith Peat of the Association of British Drivers said that many people forget to purchase breathalyzers and claimed that the new law was an attempt to make money from foreign drivers.
He said some people have the opportunity and not to buy, but many simply do not know of that requirement or just forget.
The idea of self-testing sounds like nonsense Looks like another money spinner for the industry very profitable road safety.
Anyone driving in France is required to carry a warning triangle and a fluorescent safety vest to use in an emergency.
If a motorist carries the luminous vest in their boot rather than the main part of the car, they can still be fined.
British motorists must display a GB plate and have their headlights adjusted to the right.
Drivers are not required to carry a spare set of lights, but if any of their bulbs and will not replace loans, they can be fined.
