A lady friend called Jane was recently followed and pulled in by the Police after she left the local Miners Institute after an evening celebration of David Bowie’s music.
During the entertainment evening she only drank orange juice and no alcohol at all.
Despite this the Police followed her car and pulled her in even though her driving was excellent.
The Police suspected that Jane had been drinking because they had seen her coming out of the Miners Institute after the David Bowie music celebration.
When the Police pulled her in they breath tested her and found her to be at zero
alcohol breath level.
I therefore realise that the Police cannot tell the difference between the driving standard of a completely sober driver and a driver who is drunk.
I also suspect the Police are pulling drivers for nothing in the hope they can get
an easy conviction to help them meet their targets.
Obviously if road safety was the real issue, the Police would only pull in drivers who were driving badly with blatant impairment.
