Re breathalysers, a French law introduced a few years ago states that you are obliged to carry one in your car. However, an amendment to this law states that you will not be prosecuted if you do not carry one, so nobody does.
I am not making this up.
I've always had a theory (not based on any evidence at all, I might add) that this was because the factory making them belonged to mates of Sarkozy, who brought in the daft breathalyser law.
Thus when President Flanby Hollande got in, he shelved it.
