Travelspot 92893 Alcoproof NF Approved Breathalyser Twin Pack

Ordering another pack. Needed for eu travelling. Good value. Easy to use

They are well packed in individual wrappings. Took them to France but have had no need to use them so cannot comment on the performance. A good price and peace of mind in case the gendarmes pulled me up for any reason. they have limited shelf life (about 2 years) so they'll be valid for next year and the year after..

Easy to use

Used it several times and seems to work OK. much easier to use than those old fashioned throw away tests

The clarified French law is that these are still required - they may not fine you but can issue you with an order to appear at the local police station within a few days showing proof of having these, so its much more sensible to get it in advance. Combined shipping with AA Car essentials kits from Amazon is a great deal!Quick delivery

I hope this is a good product because I have never had the opportunity to use them , thank god.Its also good that the breathalyser comes in a pack of 2, because if there were only 1 in the packet and the police in France/Spain stopped you and used it, it would then have left you open to prosecution for not having a usable breathalyser to carry on your journey. Sneaky.

It does keep you legal in France as it is mandatory to have it on your vehicle at all times

The AlcoProof breathalyser is easy to use, claimed as NF approved, but the indication of alcohol level is not too clear. The product consists of yellow crystals in a glass tube, with a red marker line at one end. As you blow, the red line turns white to indicate that you have provided an adequate breath sample. If there is alcohol on your breath, the yellow crystals also begin to turn green-ish from the end at which you are blowing. If crystals turn green beyond a thin black line that indicates the legal alcohol limit, then you are over the limit. The only problem is that the colour contrast between the remaining yellow crystals and those turning green-ish is not very clear, so it's difficult to read. I tried a tester at home after drinking half a bottle of wine (which I'd expect to put me well over the the French limit of 0.5), but thought my indication on the tester was borderline. Of course, you should drink no alcohol before driving! Not sure if all makers of this type of tester use the same chemical principle?
