Call you in the car with a headset via a wire to your phone is linked? Stay now way out of France, because in La Edouard, this is soon to be heavily illegal.

According to the authorities, a wired headset too much, and is so good for road safety when it is not used anymore in traffic. Bluetooth headsets, on the other hand are no problem, because.. eeh, it is manifestly much less distracting.

The ban goes on June 30, a penalty has not yet been established. The guillotine seems to us a proportionate sanction. In other news: from the same date is there on some stretches of road have been experimenting with a reduction of the Vmax of 90 to 80 km/h, and the alcohol limit for novice drivers down to 0.2 per cent.
