An extract from the Dorset Echo regarding the Police Christmas drink drive campaign.
Police Inspector Joe Pardey said:
“If police think you are unfit to drive through consumption of alcohol, even if your breath test
registers lower than the prescribed limit of 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 milliliters of breath
you can still be arrested and may be charged with an offence.
In short, you do not have to be drunk to be a drink driver. Don’t risk it.”
Oh dear, so you can now be prosecuted for being a drink driver even if you've passed the breath test.
Now I'm really confused.
