Interesting paragraph (translated)

"The Interior Minister will propose to the Interdepartmental Committee for road safety "to use this time to evaluate the interest of this device" in close "with associations of users and victims of road". The announcement of the law, already, associations of users and victims of road had greeted with skepticism a "cosmetic measuring scoop".

Got a true recent story about an E test.

We were stopped by the gendarmes last week doing <50 in our local town (S/limit 50)

There were two of them, the bigger one approached our car and the other remained stood about 15 ft in front of us.

Fli the driver was asked if he had been drinking - 'yes' he said 'a coke at MacDos'.........

On their demand his driving licence was produced and the cars insurance docs however at NO time were we asked for an E Test, miffed, I open the glove box, got out our pack of 2 and paraded the green box in front of both GDs who both grinned their sox off...... and waved us away..........

Similar thing happened to me........ stopped a few weeks ago - cacked meself as my car's not entirely 100% legal - he looked at the CT sticker and insurance on the windscreen.
Asked if I'd been drinking - no ossifer!
Blow in the bag time and off I went.......
No mention of E kits, didn't even ask to see my driving licence or Carte Grise (thankfully!!!!!!)
