Breath Analyser Kits ~ Where To Buy Them

Post by blackduff »

Within two weeks we need to have these kits in the car, if you want to drive them. I haven't seen anywhere near to Argeles although a friend said that Feu Vert has some available.

Has anyone found a good source for the kits? I expected they would be available everywhere. I have to supply the three cars I own so I'm looking for a bargain.

I have seen them at the checkout of one of the supermarkets. Possibly Carrefour Market, Laroque but cant be sure it was there. I got mine from french ebay because I was fed up asking in the chemist for them!

A friend told me that he bought a double kit at Intermarche in St. Andre. The price was 2€, which is good.

The bad news though is that I drove immediately to Intermarche and there wasn't any more in stock.

Tant pis, I'll keep lookiing.

My friend said he found the kits in the auto parts section of Intermarche.

Just a small addition to this thread..
Although this obligation does come into law with effect as from 01/07/12
There is period of grace which will run until 01/11/12 afterwhich you will face a fine of 11.00 €
During this period if stopped, the police are obliged to forewarn you of this.

Extract from site:
En cas de contrôle routier, le défaut de possession d’un éthylotest est sanctionné par une amende de 11 euros à compter du 1er novembre 2012.

Intermarche Hyper in Argeles does not have any analysers. Same for the Intermarche Market in Elne-no joy there. I guess it's going to be driving over to Feu Vert

Good News and Bad News:
My wife found a box of analyers (2 within the box) at Carrefour Market in Laroque. That was the good news.

The bad news is there wasn't anymore. This box of the analyers is located with the gum rack, at the Caisse.

Well, why not there????

The Carrefour people said that they were going to get some more later.

Another item: These analysers have a date to use before~mine was less than two years left. Best to check this , when you buy yours. I'm sure that the police will check when they're seeing if you have some. Geeeez!

I am going to get a bulk order.......for our 3 cars, not because I drink and drive!

They can accompany the dozen or so high viz vests and the array of triangles any AA patrol van would be proud off :lol:

Gifi are advertising a new arrivalof Ethylotest (quantités illimitées) at 1.99 euros each. Even though the time limit for carrying them has been extended worthwhile having if you are going to have a drink and drive!
