Good evening, i'm hoping somebody may be able to assist me with some clarification.
Following a marginal breath test failure I opted for a blood test. I sent the sample given to me away for independent analysis. The sample was returned with a certificate showing the my blood alcohol level was 83mg. 3mg over the legal limit.
I have read on numerous occasions that the reading will have 6mg deducted from the final result so as to allow for a margin of error. My confusion lies with whether the results i have been sent will have already had the 6mg deducted from them, or whether this is done later by the police/cps?
The uncertainty is from the fact that i have read that the 6mg is deducted before the final result, if the blood test is carried out on behalf of the police. As this wasn't for the police, will the 6mg have been deducted?
I hope someone will be able to give me some guidance.
Thank you very much in advance.
