法国:边开车边吃东西违法

People heading to France are being warned that from yesterday it is illegal to eat while driving a car.

要去法国的人注意啦!7月1日起,在法国边开车边吃东西是违法的。

Anyone caught snacking while at the wheel can now be pulled over and handed an on-the-spot fine of up to £50. The new law is a draft of measures aimed at cracking down on careless motorists.

Other new rules now also make it illegal to apply make-up, read a map or listen to 'excessively loud music' while at the wheel. Using headphones or other wireless earpieces are also now banned while driving either a car, a motorbike or a bicycle.

Starting July 2, it will also become illegal to smoke in a car when a child aged 12 or under is present. Smoking is also banned outdoors at children’s play areas, including those at motorway rest areas. Notices have been put up in several languages at motorway service stations to alert foreign visitors to the measures.

Three years ago, France also made it compulsory for all drivers to carry alcohol breath test kits in their cars, or face an eight pounds fine. Other compulsory equipment in a car must also include a warning triangle, a high-visibility safety vest, spare light bulbs, headlamp converters for driving on the right and a GB sticker or number plate with an EU logo.

At the same time, France also banned, satnavs capable of detecting speed cameras, and even mobile phones with apps that spot cameras. Offenders facing a £1,000 fine even if the device is not in use.
