Its a bit tight on space with the panels stowed, petrol can, tools, French eurocrap stuff (vis jackets and all that) ain't it!! I'm definitely taking my mini-fridge for the car though...

Keep the high vis jackets in the passenger compartment - you have to put them on as you get out of the car in an emergency and you could be fined if you do not. Gives you room for another bottle of beer in the boot!

Not sure about the requirement for breathalysers now,
I understand that it is law but it is officially not enforced. ...seriously

It's a bit of a grey area Andy but I think you're right.

They only cost a couple of quid & do not take up too much room so my view is it's easier to carry them to keep Le Plod happy than leave them at home wink
