The breatalysers cone into effect on 1st november!!! EDIT: THERE IS LENIENCY UNTIL 1st NOVEMBER

And france used to be 1 x triangle 20metres from the rear of the car then 2x hi vis vests Spain was 4 x hi vis vests and 2 x triangles...1st 20 metres away, the next 20metres from the 1st triangle. So because of many cross border journeys from the midi pyrenees to catalonia, andorra or the basque region, the french changed their law to 2 x triangles and 1 hi vis for every seat in the vehicle!!

I lived in Toulouse for 2 yrs, didnt know aboyt the change in the law and got nailed and fined by the Gendarmarie €90 fs!!!

Going back to Toulouse on 14th september until start of Dec, so read up on any changes to the law regarding motoring!!
