Seems like some lobby is set to make some big bucks. I can easily see this implemented in the U.S.

All vehicles travelling on French roads must carry a chemical or electronic breathalyzer test beginning Sunday, under new rules aimed at reducing alcohol-driven accidents.
"Alcohol has been the main cause of mortality on roads since 2006," according to road security authorities.
About a third of fatalities on French roads is due to drink driving, a rate that far surpasses the 17 percent recorded in Britain or 10 percent in Germany.
According to a survey published Sunday, just over half of respondents -- 57 percent -- said they have yet to equip their vehicles with breathalyzer tests.
Those who fail to do so risk a fine of 11 euros ($14) from November 1, 2012, when the penalty comes into force.
Drivers are split over the measure.
"I find it absurd to be booked for that. But it's the law, so I'll be subject to it," said Hamou Louachiche, 38, who still does not have a test in his car.
He believes that such tests would be more useful in bars or nightclubs.
Others however welcome the measure, saying it would reduce drink driving.

Shortly, all vehicles driving in France will be required to have a breathalyser on board. In order to comply it is ESSENTIAL that the breathalyzer complies with French Law and is NF (French Laboratory) approved. If you do not have a breathalyser you will be liable for a fine.
