Derek Uzzell Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 See http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/French-Breathalysers-any-updates/38001/ This was the position in April 2015 and nothing has changed since then. As you are probably aware, the breathalyser law is on the French statute books but an implementation date (after which the French police had powers to fine a driver for non-compliance) was put on indefinite hold. Given the fiasco the French breathalyser law produced (and its unpopularity) it seems most unlikely that an implementation date will ever be set.

whisturx Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I note that both P & O and Dover Ferry Port still insisting on their posters etc. that they are law in France! Perhaps they are trying to clear a warehouse full ! Even a big poster at Maidstone Services ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are trying to clear a warehouse full ! Even a big poster at Maidstone Services ! But it is still the law in france that you carry one, It's just there is no way of punishing you for not carrying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 On this and other French motoring legal issues it would be worth visiting this AA webpage http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/driving-abroad-whats-new-2012.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanS Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Try finding them in French supermarkets or other outlets - they are as rare as rocking horse pooh ! Another MH owner and myself had a chat about it in France recently - none to be seen. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zydeco Joe Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It might be law but no French man would be seen dead with one, don't bother. Just go and have fun like we have for over 10 weeks this year. B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
