Driving kit for france

[mrphil]

Hi all,

going to disney land in january, been looking for these kits you need: hivis, triangle, bulb set, breathylser etc.

been told there about £5, cant find them anywhere for this price, ones ive seen are like £30.

any suggestions?

cheers

The money you are going to spend at Disney and you're worried about 30 quid?

I went a cpl months back, when I was looking the breathalysers on their own were around a fiver - highly doubt you will get a full kit for anywhere near that

[mrphil]

well its £9 a fine, so if i get stopped 3 times thats still a saving of £3!
costs keep mounting lol

Make sure that the hi viz jacket is to hand, such as in a car door.

Amazon is your friend, get two incase you use one, less than a £5.

Oh and they drive on the otherside of the road.

Oh and you need a lucky rabbits foot, clove of garlic, set of marbles and a cuddly toy.

The breathalyzer fine like you say is not a lot, however the fines for not having the other items (hi-viz jackets, spare bulbs, beam deflectors, warning triangle etc) are a lot higher so make sure you you've got all the shizzle!

Chances are you'll not get a pull but the Gendarmerie can be right gits when they pull you over so it's best not to give them anything to sting you with!

I agree with Deloy, i drive through France twice a year and the small amount you pay for all the right kit can save you a lot of problems in the long run, my dealings with the Gendarmerie went a lot smoother because i had all the right gear.

Agreed with the breathalysers, i wouldn't bother and pay the fine is stopped. Hi-Viz on the other hand is always good to have in a very visible place in your car, for if they can see it they would be dicks and pull you over looking for it. They also recently changed the law saying you don't need one for every person in the car, just the driver now.
Bulbs and triangle are always good to have in what ever country you are in.
