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.

Great experience and consistent feedback

Good communication, clear emails, good attention to detail reacted quickly to problems.. We have used twice now and would certainly use her again as a convincing solicitor. Much better than other we have used in the past.

The service from Sam and Paolo has been exceptional - timely, responsive and efficient through a highly stressful house purchase (no fault of theirs!) and we would highly recommend them both to anyone!

I recenlty contacted Winstons Solicitors to assist with a appeal for my mother with the ICB regarding a continuing health care assessment. James Urquart Burton assited me with the process. He was exteremely helpful and understanding. James provided an indepth analysis and assesssment and was present at the appeal to assist me and advocate for my mother. Jame's work is diligent, professional and he is really responsive to any questions and queries. I highly recommned contacting James to help and assist with any appeals for Continuing Healthcare and Decision Support Tool reviews
