France to introduce breathalyser tests in bars 12/05/2008
_______________________________________________________________
France is to introduce compulsory breathalyser tests in late-night bars and clubs as part of a new effort to cut down on road deaths.
The announcement by the environment minister Jean-Louis Borloo came after a particularly bloody holiday weekend on the roads with 19 people killed.
"I am going to introduce a decree in cabinet under which all drink outlets that stay open till two in the morning will have compulsory electronic breath-tests, so that everyone can test his own situation as he leaves," Mr Borloo said yesterday.
