Our fun police friends from across the channel are at it again. In addition to the usual hiding behind bushes with a radar gun (with possible car confiscation and on the spot fines) and general regulatory strangeness they have a new one to inflict on visitors to their shores. Not content with insisting that we carry a warning triangle, a high vis jacket for each occupant and a spare set of bulbs but from 1st of July you will need to carry a breathalyser! Not only that but it must carry NF (Norme Francais) seal of approval. Legislation comes into force on 1st July but apparently the gendarmes won't start fining people until 1st November. How kind! Gives me a warm glow at such generosity. There will be a minimum fine of 9 euros.
Who thinks up this stuff? I fail to see any point or logic in this. Most french people I meet are great but there is a certain type of french bureaucrat that invokes rules to make your life harder. Remember the farce of the Minis being denied their Monte Carlo win by the rule manipulators.
Bon chance mes amis.....
