French breathaliser (1 Viewer)

[appydaze]

Hi all, off to France soon. Along with the other accrutriments needed, I understand everyone also has to carry a breathaliser. Does anyone know where these can be purchased from? Happy daze:thumb:

They have to test for the European limit of 50Mg, not the UK's limit of 80Mg (70Mg?), so don't buy a UK self breath tester.

You can buy them from ebay.fr if you want (Alcooltest, Ethylotest), but there also are UK sellers that sell the disposable ones with a 50Mg limit.

They have them in Halfords now.

Even when the fines start November 1st it's only €11 so could just as well wing it and not bother. They have a shelf life as well 2yrs I believe so I'd wait till the end of October if going then or the next time you are after that

Had just passed through the wine section

Actually the tests were in the medication section, this was a Carrefour.

I bet like cold and frozen shopping that booze and medication are at opposite ends of the store

You can buy them on the ferry - we got some on the Roscoff to Plymouth ferry last week.
You have to search for them though
