Hi all
It appears that the police carry out spot check of documents and should be equipped with breathalysers. As is the case in most other countries. Actually in France things have got a bit tight with cash and the French legislature recently passed into law that the driver of the vehicle must carry a perscribed sealed breathalyser for use on the road. I do know how what the process is and in some way how to handle the police when faced with the throwaway comment " you drink " Many thanks On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 10:23 AM, George Green <[email protected]> wrote: > Who drives cars in Moscow? > > George Green (L'viv Ukraine) > > > On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 10:45 PM, Sushil Kumar <[email protected]>wrote: > >> do you look like a nut? they never stopped me i drive in moscow 10 years >> now >> >> >> ------------------------------ >> *From:* davina garrido de miguel <[email protected]> >> *To:* "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >> *Sent:* Thursday, November 8, 2012 11:15 PM >> *Subject:* RE: Expat List Random Police checks at 8am in the morning >> >> I say- don't even let on that you even know how to say 'Da' or 'Net' in >> Russian.
