TÜV SÜD TÜV SÜD: Norway rules out ‘smoke-driving’, France requires breathalyzer - May 10th, 2012
Generous interpretations of driving laws abroad by holiday-makers are now a thing of the past. Based on the "Law on mutual assistance in legal matters" that has now been in effect for one year, German authorities now also enforce penalty notices from abroad. As speeding, tailgating and drink-driving is rather expensive in most countries, one or the other holiday-maker may have a rude awakening upon returning home. In addition to more familiar "cardinal sins" in road traffic, motorists must observe a host of specific national regulations. France, for example, has introduced a new law demanding that every car must carry a breathalyzer kit. TÜV SÜD has summarized the most important tips on how to stay within the law while going on holidays.
