    In France you're legally obligated to carry, in your own car, a breathalyzer kit so be thankful for small mercies. Its only a piece of plastic.

    On another note I haven't been breathalyzed in well over 30 years:eek:

    I'm convinced a significant proportion of the Boards population actively go around looking for things to be ornery about.

    The offence (and €11 fine) for not having one was dropped in 2013 indefinitely, whilst the law does still technically require one there is currently no penalty or offence committed for not carrying one and no action the Police can take.

    A while ago a was breathalysed and the guard tried to hand me the straw afterwards to put in the bin myself. I politely told her she can keep her rubbish, and she was fine with that. But yesterday my Co worker was breathalysed and told the guard he didn't want to take the straw, the guard then got aggressive and forced him to take the straw. I'm just wondering if you actually have to take the straw by law?

    I wish I had so little to be worrying about. You don’t know you’re alive, OP.

    My local guard say's "here's a souvenir"

    I tend not to get pedantic or act the snowflake with these guys, after all they're doing a job
