Why do you have to carry 2 breathalysers? Is that only for motorbikes? Seems like a lot of stupid laws are being made across europe to target us bikers atm

All drivers no mater the vehicle have to carry them now. The reason I was laughing was that on the Now Show they were saying if you used your breathalyser - then you no longer had one so couldn't drive anyway.

Ah I see lol, I guess once you've used it you have proof that your not riding ****** at least until you can get down the road to buy other one! I hope they don't bring that law in over here, I dunno where I'd put it on my bike all the storage is taken up with tools and waterproofs. Anyway this is probably way off bushcraft kit topic lol

The pack of two kits I have in my glove compartment in the car are about the size of a packet of cigarettes. Take them out of the box and stash them in a pocket and they ought to be nothing in size. Hadn't occurred to me to carry them on the bike when I'm out on it, so maybe I should get another packet next time I'm at the chemists. They only cost about €3 for a pack of two.

What did I buy today? Three DVD's, a 13mm drill chuck, a billhook, big caste iron dutch oven, a valve for a Butane gas bottle to connect my cooker up with and sausage in a baguette all at a bootfair this morning. All retail therapied out ... at least for now.
