Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3039188, member: 8275"] They won’t give you a reading the way drink driving is tested and as I already mentioned earlier, he has most likely gone well over 0.02% but not over 0.05%. There is an operational reason for that, which you obliquely referred to in your earlier comment about the body’s ability to process alcohol. The difference is what is referred to as mouth alcohol, compared to what is actually measured which is breath alcohol concentration. To account for this, we test on the roadside and whether it’s an RBT line with a Booze bus on site or a trip back to the local BAS section, we are required to wait a minimum of 20 minutes between the time of the roadside test, to the time of the test on the instrument. And they would have used the standard Lion Breathalysing Instrument, that is in virtually every police station in Queensland. If you think all this has been done and your legal eagle can find a way out, I’ll turn up to court to watch myself. Will be hilarious, watching the confusion on your face when the guilty verdict is handed down. For the record, there is no biological difference between ethyl or methyl based alcohols as far as drink driving legislation is concerned. You go and skoll a bottle of mouthwash, you’ll be in the same predicament as if you drink the same quantity of Vodka (or whichever spirit contains the same alcohol percentage). [/QUOTE]
