Maybe he'd drank them early enough that he was no longer over the limit.

I'd have thought that the rational response to someone who has just smashed their car into the central reservation with no one else around and smells of alcohol is to maybe verify that fact?

What if it was Rola Cola? Would that be acceptable?

If he'd got one more point he would be staying a lot closer to home.
Or setting up a camp-bed at Belvoir Drive.

Can you refuse to take the test?
Over here you have a legal right to refuse the test, but generally ends up leaving you in more trouble than if you took it. But they can't prove you were drunk and the charge is changed to reckless driving or some such coded language.

I believe refusal to take a test is taken as a positive test.
If you're absolutely hammered this would stop you giving a massive reading.

Yes, refusal to take a test is taken as a positive test and treated as such in court.

Refusal is an offence under the same Act and is regarded in exactly the same way as a 'failure'. I haven't analysed the figures but it may even be that people who refuse to give a sample of breath are dealt with more harshly than those who are proved to be over the limit.

If you refuse to take a breath test, you earn the label of "High Risk Offender" and are treated in the same way as somebody who has given a sample that came in at 2.5 times (or more) over the legal limit. This means that you do not get your licence back automatically at the end of the compulsory ban period; you would first have to go through a medical examination. It is also be likely that the cost of your next insurance would be loaded even more severely than somebody who had simply been over the limit. I can see no point in refusing to give a sample.

Haha I wasn't suggesting you were an alcoholic or someone who enjoys a good drink drive but you do come across as having a very good general knowledge on things like this.
And its usually you who corrects (m)any failings in my posts.
