A new French law has led to a shortage of Breathalyzer kits in the country. With 4,000 people killed in accidents on French roads every year, the government has instituted a new measure that requires motorists to carry a Breathalyzer kit in their cars at all times or risk a fine. Drivers arriving in France from other European countries will also be expected to carry a kit, which some British drivers expect will lead to confusion. The law was approved under former president Nicolas Sarkozy and may save as many as 500 lives a year, according to the government.
