French Driving Laws
Discussion
Just a quick one here - I was wondering how different French/EU driving laws are to the ones we have in place here in the UK.
A friend of mine has recently come back from a holiday in France and, after being pulled over by the police, was told he should be carrying a breathalyser in his car at all times. He did mention that he wasn't faced with a fine or anything, just a slap on the wrist from the police. This got me thinking though - just how different are some of the driving laws in France/elsewhere in the EU?
I've done a bit of research online as I'm thinking of going on a driving holiday at the end of this summer, but I'm keen to see what any of you fellow PH'ers have to chip in, or if there are any obscure laws/any laws that are imperative not to be missed.
