Re: France staggers as if drunk, requires breathalyzers...

Yes the Government is requiring everyone carry a breathalyzer in their car or they will get a fine.

At $30 for a cheap one it would seem all French people could get one... but the goal is to stop drunk driving. How many people will use it with replacement costs, new tubes, etc., let alone when they are drunk?

So essentially every driver will lose about $30 bucks in a failed scheme to reduce drunk driving. I wonder how many politicians own stock in a breathalyzer company in France?

Ofc they might think this could stimulate their economy. Sorry but this takes from small businesseds and gives a mandatory purchase to a large company. Aka bad for the economy. And those poor unemployed who could really use that $30 for far more productive reasons. So poorly thought out... this is the best the new French Government could do?

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: France staggers as if drunk, requires breathalyzers...

This is step #1.

Step #2 is making wine illegal!

I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: France staggers as if drunk, requires breathalyzers...

arby.. they use wine instead of blood for transfusions so this will be impossible X(

~~Lemming of leather and lollipops~~

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?

The next time Germany invades France, I say we let them keep it.

Re: France staggers as if drunk, requires breathalyzers...

Hmmm, so if Greece gets kicked from the Union will prices on wine go up or down? I know Italy and France grow grapes but does Greece? Will this change the drunk driving statistics as well? Hmmm....

Overall, I think Greek agro is about olives and goat's.

So cheaper grapes equals cheaper wine, and some good veal to go with it.

Yeah France is screwed. Might as well ban cars, airplanes, trains, horses and motorcycles over there.
