No surprise the second reading is ONE unit higher. The posters alcohol levels must have either still been going up or simply the evidential breath machine is more accurate
Mine was also 87. Just to confirm this will be what they use in court so not HRO?
Block16 / RemorseNIMy readings were as follows:
Roadside:108
1st reading in police station: 89
2nd in police station: 86
Evidential Sample relied on in court is the lower of the two police station readings, so I just scraped under HRO listing following court
Just a different type of pain now in my case haha- have to start from scratch as based in NI- will be doing my Theory and Practical as soon as I can following ban being completed on April 1st 2023- already got the theory app on my phone and doing mock tests sporadicallyBlock16 / RemorseNI
The pair of you are just below the benchmark for becoming a High Risk Offender (HRO). It has to be a breath reading of 87.5 or above to fall into this category.
Remorse - the higher reading of 89 will be disregarded. The court case will always hinge on the lowest of the two readings that is 86 in your case.
The pair of you have avoided a world of pain by the skin of your teeth. At least there is a small crumb of comfort to be thankful for (if that is any comfort!)
Thankfully, neither of you will have to do DVLA medicals or have to draw battle lines with the wonderful professionals in the DVLA medical team to get your driving licences back.
