Hi there,

I have been stopped by a police officer who asked me to do a breathalyzer test which read at 70.

the way the night webt..

we we decided to go out as we are a new team at work, I drive us there and so I had 1 pint at a casino and then to another bar where I didn't drink. Got to around 4am and we met some oter people who we kne so we started chatting and I decided to have a drink and get a hotel. When I was drinking I realised I needed to park my car which I then did.. But then carried on drinking ALOT of vodka after that.. Police officer tuns up 15 minutes later and does a breath test which is 70. His reasons we're that there had been reports that if been drink driving when I had left the second bar.

I have my two work coleagues who were there as evidence to support my defence. Police say they had a call saying I was drink driving..

what are your thoughts? I believe I have been charged based on circumstanes rather than evidence as I hadn't been breathalysers for at least 15-20 minutes after driving.. After doing some research this is more than enough time for an alcohol level to to that level
 
The defence you are raising is called 'post incident consumption' and if successful will result in a full acquittal. The reason the police have charged you with drink driving is they have received information stating that you may be driving whilst under the influence, and when attending and completing the breathalyser your reading has been over the limit. The police's responsibility is to charge people in this situation, otherwise anyone who got home after allegedly drink driving would be safe from prosecution.

If you are to successfully raise this defence you will almost certainly need to instruct an expert to prepare a report on your alcohol levels. Your defence is significantly helped by the fact that you have 2 defence witnesses and they can and should give evidence.

If you are interested in representation for this matter you are welcome to call my team on 0333 999 7158.
