French Breathalyser Law Delayed Indefinitely
Controversial Ruling Suffers Yet Another Setback
The French government has further delayed the introduction of the controversial ruling requiring drivers to carry breathalyser kits when driving in France.
The rule was to be introduced in an attempt to cut the high number of alcohol related accidents on the French roads and required drivers to carry two breathalyser kits in their vehicle or face a small fine. Initially proposed to come into effect in November 2012, the law was then delayed until March 2013 due to stock difficulties.
French government French Interior Minister Manuel Valls has announced he will now wait until the Conseil National de la Sécurité Routière (CNSR) has reported on what it sees as the best measures to cut drink driving in France.
