Hi everyone,
I was stopped last night by a police officer and asked to provide a roadside breath sample. I accepted and the test gave the reading 'Fail' i.e. no specific figure. After being taken back to the police station I gave a further sample into the machine and blew 72ug/100ml and was charged. I was asked to sign a print-out from the machine of the results but refused.
My question to the forum is: will not signing that receipt in anyway show that I wasn't willing to accept the result and perhaps help in a not guilty plea? I also drive for a living and losing my license will literally destroy my life and to all intensive purposes render me unemployable. If anyone can offer any help or advice I would be most grateful, even if it's just a simple, "you don't have a leg to stand on" philosophy. This is my first offence.
Thanks in advance.
