New laws on French roads

New laws have been introduced which will mean that all drivers on French roads must carry breathalyser kits.

Though the laws have just been introduced, foreign drivers have a period of grace, until November, to get used to the new regulations which will result in anyone failing to produce a kit upon request having to pay a fine of €11. The new regulations apply to all vehicles apart from mopeds and are part of an effort by the French government to cut down on the number of drink-related road deaths.

Police in France have already warned UK drivers that there will be random checks carried out on those crossing the Channel. The motivation for bringing in the law is to see more drivers testing themselves to check that they are under the drink-drive limit which, in France is 50mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood, lower than the UK’s limit of 80mg.

We would highly recommend Winston Solicitors to others who are looking for a property conveyancer. Sidraa provided an excellent service - she was prompt, responsive and really helpful and patient in answering questions and queries. She made what is a complicated process seem really smooth, providing good advice and keeping us up to date throughout the process. Many thanks to Sidraa, Tom and the Winston Solicitors team for their support.
