France orders breathalyser for motorists (BBC) {must PURCHASE}

[eppur_se_muova]

A new law has come into force in France making it compulsory for drivers to carry a breathalyser kit in their vehicles or risk an on-the-spot fine.

It is the latest move by the government aimed at bringing down the number of road deaths caused by alcohol.

All motorists must also have with them a high-visibility safety vest and a warning triangle.

Foreign drivers are included in the new rule, however there is a grace period until November.

The French government hopes that with breathalysers in every car, drivers who suspect they may be over the limit can test themselves and if necessary refrain from taking the wheel.

1. Thank God we have Republicans!

And don't have to worry about them making up laws to save lives!

2. And which government official owns stock in a company manufacturing these devices?

All motorists must also have with them a high-visibility safety vest and a warning triangle.

Don't forget mittens in case it get's cold. And a snack. Sometimes motorists will get cranky mid-afternoon if they don't get a snack.

3. The Republicans would call it a "Freedom-alyzer."
