ITCM: Following news of changes to road regulations in France, National Car Rental, leading international car rental specialist, has confirmed that all its vehicles will include breathalyser alcohol testing kits. In a clamp down on drink-driving, all drivers on French roads, including foreign visitors, will have to carry breath test kits with them or face a fine. The move by National Car Rental, therefore, ensures its customers are able to comply with this new regulation.
From 1st July 2012, all drivers on French roads must carry disposable breathalyser kits with them. The measure allows drivers to test whether they are over the limit before they get in their car and aims to cut the number of road related deaths in France. Drivers found without a breathalyser in their vehicle could be fined €17. » | Thursday, March 29, 2012
