From 1st July 2012 it will be compulsory for drivers of all motor vehicles including motorcyclists travelling in France to carry a breathalyser. The breathalyser has to be a certified by the French authorities, showing an ‘NF’ number. The AA is recommending: "The official text states that one unused certified breathalyser must be produced. We recommend that two single-use breathalysers are carried, so if one is used or damaged you will still have a replacement to produce". The following regulations are already in effect:
- Warning triangle - excludes motorcycles
- Snow chains - must be fitted to vehicles using snow-covered roads in compliance with the relevant road sign. Maximum speed limit 31 mph (50km/h)
- Reflective jackets (EN471) - one reflective jacket which must be kept within the passenger compartment of the vehicle and must be put on before exiting the vehicle in an emergency/breakdown situation.
