Does this unit have the correct approvals for compliance with French rules? As I understand it they have to have "NF" approval. Couldn't see this specifically stated on the website.
From what I have seen there are only a couple of "one-use" units, and a few (expensive) digital units out there labelled as "NF approved"

| OK, so you are carrying oe with the NF mark (I thought that any EU country approved item would do, but I suppose we are talking about France here). Now what? You are unlikely to use a 'one time' one and surely the Gendarmes would not go by your tester results? Seems like a Cameron/Clegg/Brown/Blaire badly thought through law to me. |

Imagine the Gendarmes catch you still pi$$ed from the night before AND there is an unused tester in your car. I think the phrase translates as comme une tonne de briques

Don't forget you are also carrying a Hi-viz vest [by law]. Presumably to be worn when drinking?

IN the car, not the boot....(obligatory for driver, advisable also to have them for passengers)
...and don't forget the "good samaritan" law in France
