Alcohol tester mandatory in car to France
Are you planning to go on holiday to France soon? Then it is mandatory to have at least two alcohol testers in your car. By having alcohol testers in your possession, you can check whether you are still allowed to drive when you have been drinking. Why do you need to own two? The reason for this is that you always have one on hand. France wants to use this method to reduce the number of traffic accidents caused by alcohol. In this blog we will tell you more about this legislation and the alcohol testers that Alcoline offers.
Legislation surrounding the alcohol tester in France
A alcohol test in France is mandatory in every vehicle, but drivers who do not have this in their possession will not be fined during a police check. By having the test with you, you can check for yourself how much alcohol you have in your blood. This way you can decide for yourself whether or not you are able to drive your vehicle. Please note: the maximum permitted alcohol content in your blood is 0,5 per mille. This amounts to 0,25 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air. Have you had your driver's license for less than three years? Then the limit of 0,2 permille of alcohol in your blood applies. In short, the alcohol tester is mandatory to take with you in the car, but you will not be fined for refusal. If you have to take a breath test at the roadside in France, special police alcohol testers are used. Your alcohol testers are therefore only for your own use, to check whether you are allowed on the road.
