A planned new law which comes in to effect in the spring requires all drivers to carry a breathalyser kit in their car. The new law is aimed at cutting road traffic accidents in France that are caused by drink driving.
Alcohol is still a major factor in road traffic deaths in France and around 28 percent of road traffic accidents involve drivers with a high levels of alcohol in their blood.
The government hope that the new law will make drivers more aware. Breath test kits will be available to buy starting from around €1.50.
The government is also looking in to the possibility of having all new cars built with anti-start breath test monitors fitted.
Part of the new road safety campaign will also include the introduction of 400 new speed cameras by the end of the year, the new speed cameras will no longer be advertised by warning signs.
