Hello
I was recently breathalysed while driving back from my work leaving do.
I was undergoing something known as "Intermittent Fasting" which meant no food for 24 hours, and I had 3 espresso martinis in rapid succession.
I blew 50 at the station and was given the option to provide a different sample. I agreed to provide a urine sample, and the officer read out the proces distinctly mentioning 2 samples within a period of 1 hour.
I was taken to the toilet to provide the urine sample, where I was asked to urinate the "cream" for about 2-5 seconds, and then provide the second sample into the cup provided.
After reading about the process, my understanding is that the bowels are first emptied followed by a second sample of urine to be provided before the end of the hour. This never happened.
I am considering contesting the process if I am charged, but only will do so if I have a legitimate case due to the costs involved and the repurcussions of a lost case.
