I'm racking my brain to find any real value in a law like this.  Personally, I already know when I've had a drink.

Just another way to screw 11 Euros out of each and every tourist! I hate the French police. I'm dreading having to nip through France on the way home next month...
Needless to say I'm ordering a kit from Halfords, they won't be getting my hard earned dosh! Cheese eating jumped up uniform wearing monkeys!!!!

If you do not want to part with any cash, then concider the following;

You also required to have in your car, again, "in your car", not the boot, that is not in your car a florescent vest for every occupant. To be safe, it is recommended that you have a vest per seat regardless. Remember, the boot is not classed as in the car. Failure to abide by this will cost you

Ridiculous laws. They clearly exist to get as much money out of people as possible. The breathalyser one is particularly dangerous - It goes against the norm of '0.0 is the only safe limit' by allowing drivers to accurately see how much alcohol is in their system.

You might be legally able to drive, but that doesn't make it safe. I fear lives are more at risk - Before, if you'd be drinking you would have to take a taxi or sleep it off to have certainty over your state. Now though, you can see when you pass that magical line and believe that you can operate a vehicle.
