Driving to France can be extremely easy and you only need to take the Eurotunnel to get there. However, you do have to realise that you’re entering a completely different country with their own rules, and there are certain compulsory requirement that you must abide by.
If you would like to avoid an €11 fine, then you must make sure you carry a self-test breathalyser. The law was introduced in January 2013, and it applies to all people driving in their country. France is the only country in Europe that has made this a law, and it goes to show that you should always keep up to date with the latest regulations, and not just those here in the UK.
France also has a ban on satnavs with speed camera alerts, and while the chances are slim of them checking your satnav, it’s still a law that should be abided by.
