can't find the original thread, this is a reminder that the new ruling comes into play next week and looks like it will cost a fair bit.

Typical Daily Mail. France has not "ordered" British drivers to do anything. The rule applies to anyone driving in France even French people. It comes into force next month but there will be a "probationary period" until November. If you don't want to comply don't drive on French roads. Warning triangles, hi-viz jackets etc make sense to me.

the thing that caught my eye was the price of a 100 used oncers.
an internationally approved digital blood pressure/heart rate monitor costs between 10 and 20 quid.
