Please could you explain this charge:
"when suspected of having driven a vehicle and having been required to provide a specimen of breath for analysis by means of a device of a type approved by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 7 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 in the course of an investigation into whether you had committed an offence under section 3A, 4, 5 or 5A thereof, failed without reasonable excuse to do so."
My friend has been charged with this offence. He is a student from India and tried to give a breath sample 3 times. He had been drinking and doesn't remember what happened after that. He was placed in custody overnight and bailed without condition the following morning.
Please could you tell me what the penalty is likely to be?
