It will be an offence not to carry a single-use breathalyser from 1st July, but you can't actually be fined for failing to do so until 1st November.
In the meantime it's far more important to remember the existing legislation about carrying hi-vis vests, which must be readily accessible (i.e. NOT in the boot):

So - you have an 'apero' or trois and think you'll test yourself, you are OK so drive home but get knicked because you no longer have a kit......
Best carry a dozen - that should last a week or so.
Also see on the link that you should have a hi-vis vest PER OCCUPANT. Is that right? I thought the requirement was just for one to be carried.

That's in France, but good driving practice (worldwide!) suggests that keeping a hi-vis vest immediately to hand is a sensible idea. (I certainly do).

I was also surprised to read the 'per occupant' wording on that website. I also believe it to be that only one vest is required. Our (joint) view appears to be supported by the AA:

The official French tourism website refers only to a single hi-vis vest and a reflective triangle:

If in doubt, carry it!
I've always got a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, spare bulbs and several hi-vis vests in my car. I've not currently got a reflective triangle but that's only because I went to help an elderly lady whose campervan had broken down, just over a the top of a hill. I placed my warning triangle on the other side of the hill, to warn drivers of an obstruction ahead. When I went to retrieve it I found that a lorry had run over it, smashing it into many pieces!
