Alcohol tester
Want to be sure you can still drive after a few glasses of alcohol? Or are you going to France by car soon? Then we
recommend purchasing one or two alcohol testers. With an alcohol test you can
easily measure the blood alcohol level in your blood, so you know immediately
whether or not you can get behind the wheel. With us you can choose from a
disposable or a digital alcohol test.
Disposable alcohol testers An economical option is the
disposable alcohol tester. So you can use it once and throw it away after use.
A disposable breathalyzer is also very easy to use. You blow into it, do the
test beads turn green? Then it means that you have drunk too much alcohol and
you are no longer allowed to drive. In addition, this tester has the French
quality mark NFX207-02. Do you want a more accurate alcohol test or one that
can be used multiple times? Then a digital test is an ideal option.
Digital alcohol testers A digital alcohol tester is a bit
more expensive than a disposable tester. But they are a lot more accurate.
Where a disposable breathalyzer only indicates whether you have had too much to
drink, a digital test also indicates how much blood alcohol is in your blood.
These digital alcohol testers don't have a mouthpiece, you can just blow on the
top of the device.
France alcohol tester Whether or not an alcohol tester is
mandatory in France is a much discussed topic. It's like this; if you go to
France by car, you are legally obliged to have 2 alcohol testers with you.
These two testers are based on disposable alcohol testers. If you have a
digital breathalyzer, one is sufficient. If you are arrested by the police, you
will have to prove that you have it with you. However, if you do not have
alcohol testers with you, you will not be fined. This has not been the case
since 2013. Good to know: if you are stopped by the police for an alcohol test,
you will use the police breathalyzer. The alcohol testers in your car are
purely for personal use. In France, the maximum permitted alcohol content is
0.5 per mille, just like in the Netherlands. For drivers who have had their
driving license for less than three years, a maximum alcohol content of 0.2 per
mille applies.
