How Do You Know If You Are Over The Limit?
Lets be honest, many people find themselves in a position whereby having had just a couple of drinks, they are now unsure whether or not it is safe to drive. Perhaps after a business lunch or just a 'quick drink after work'. The uncertainty of the situation can make for an anxious drive home. |

Protect Yourself With the AlcoSense Breathalyser
This is the latest model of Alcohol Breathalyser, it is quick easy and accurate
"17% of all drink drive convictions happen the morning after. Few people realise that after a night of moderate drinking they may still be over the limit to drive well into the next day. You can't tell when you still have alcohol in your system after a night's sleep, but testing yourself with an accurate personal breathalyser the next morning can help you." BRAKE - The Road Safety Charity

The Morning After
In recent years the early morning breath tests have become commonplace on the nation's roads. Motorists innocently driving to work after having consumed alcohol the previous evening can still find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Whilst they may feel perfectly safe to drive, they are unaware that the amount of alcohol remaining in their system is enough to produce a positive reading.
The Penalties
The penalty chart below gives rough guidelines for sentences for first time offenders. These are only approximate guidelines based on our informed understanding of the 'going rates' in the year 2000. Penalties for goods vehicles, large passenger vehicles or commercial vehicles will be higher. We advise anyone facing prosecution to seek professional legal guidance.
Why Risk It!
What are the consequences of failing a roadside breath test.
- Instantly stopped from continuing your journey and taken to the police station for a blood test
- The shame of being labelled a drunk driver by friends and neighbours
- How would the loss of mobility effect your families daily life
- Would you be able to continue in your job
- The increased cost of insurance when you eventually get your licence back
And this is without considering the consquences of having an accident and bringing injuries or worse to yourself and others if your bodily reflexes and concentration were just not as good as you thought.
