TICKS ALL THE BOXES
In order to comply with the new French Regulations covering the requirements governing what each car has to carry by way of safety equipment in case of breakdown etc. and personal driver breathalyzer, we opted to buy this ready assembled kit as it seemed to 'tick all the boxes' of what was needed. Certainly everything was nattily contained in a carry case, which we understand has to be carried in the car within easy reach of the driver and not stuffed in the boot. Like a previous reviewer we had no cause to use any of the equipment, but we were ready and prepared!Just a couple of points. It is appreciated that public finances in France are said to be dire, but so bad as for the Police not to be able to afford to carry their own supplies of breathalyzers to use on suspected drink/drivers as in the rest of Europe? Perhaps we should have a whip round for the poor old French? Or grant them big dollops of Foreign Aid? Do criminals have to carry their own handcuffs and leg irons, and murderers their own rope, just in case of capture?And secondly having spent two weeks observing the French nation guzzling considerable quantities of wine and beer, it is presumed that they only do so when in walking distance of their homes or their non-drinking wives/mistresses act as taxi drivers otherwise the French public finances will be taking a massive turn for the better when all the revenue from fines imposed for being over the limit, cascades into the public coffers.In the circumstances and in view of the seemingly impoverished French Treasury, a useful acquisition.

Product as described
Going on a trip to France by car I realised I needed all these bits which I have managed to survive driving without for the last 22 years in the UK, but hey I didn't want to risk getting any fines. All the bits in the pack were as described. I would just say the triangle seems a little flimsy but probably does the job, I haven't needed any of it as yet.It arrived in the timeframe estimated, although at the later end, which cut it a little fine as this was the day before I left for my trip.No complaints otherwise.

Great little pack for peace of mind
Used this for a trip to France, lots of conflicting advice but this covered all bases except the light pack, we just got a standard light pack from Halfords. its only got 1 hi viz vest so you need to get enough to cover everyone in the car. Other than that its peace of mind and worked for us, also remember you can't leave it in the boot, it must be reachable before you get out of the car.

GB Sticker is paper
I didn't expect anything particularly high quality at this price, but the GB sticker is really rubbish: it is simply a sticky label and definitely not the sort of thing you'd want to stick on your car.I bought a decent quality sticker in Halfords.

Handy for a Euro trip
Love the way it comes with a bag with Velcro on the bottom so it don’t slide around the car floor and has everything you need the instructions for the light defectors was not easy to understand otherwise it would be 5 stars and don’t forget for France to buy a spear bulb kit and extra hi viz vests for passengers

GB sticker not legal
A good kit but the UK windshield sticker is about half the size required by law and therefore useless.

Does the job
Does the job. Used the GB sticker & beam converters. Didn't use anything else thankfully. Just so you know- its also law in France to carry a set of spare bulbs which isn't included in the kit (& cost me almost as much as this). Also, each person in the car needs a reflective jacket if you were to break down & get out of the car, so you'll still need extra as this kit only has one. Apart from that, v plsd with it.
