We already carry two warning triangles, two luminous vests, a fire
extinguisher, a spare pair of spectacles, a complete set of bulbs and a
first aid kit. There's probably other stuff I don't even know about.

It's a minefield out there

Suggests that although you are right on the breathalyser, not all the
rest is needed. Source?


It was mentioned in the Sunday Times 26 Feb (online article will be
behind a paywall though). Apparently the penalty for non-compliance is
an on-the-spot fine of 9 quid so it's not a disaster...
