Hi,
I was out for dinner and drinks on Saturday evening. I only had 4 glasses of wine from 8pm until 11.30pm. Unfortunately my seafood did not agree with me and after a couple hours throwing up I wanted my own bed. Tried to get a taxi but thanks to the throwing up they wouldn't take me so I had to take the car.
I drove aprox 0.1 miles from where I had been and was stopped in a random check by police and failed a breath test. They took me to the station where the machine gave two very different readings so I had to wait 3 hours for a doctor to arrive in order to give a sample. Blood could not be taken so urine was the option. Now in 5 hours I hadn't urinated so I was advised I was to disgard the first 30ml of urine and use the rest as the second sample however I thought my whole bladder should have been emptied as the first sample so I could only provide a 20ml sample which was split between 2 tubes.
Surely that's not a valid test? I was also wondering what the tablet is they put in the bottom of the tube but they couldn't confirm.
I'm racked with worry now so much so it's actually effecting my health. I've had no indication when I'll find out, I'm also away on holiday next week for 2 and a half weeks. I'm just annoyed I wasn't allowed to provide the sample the way I believe it should have been done.
