How can you beat a breath test?
Are DUI tests always accurate?
If you are pulled over and it is suspected that you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be given a field sobriety test or subjected to several different types of testing to determine if you should be driving or not. It may start with a field sobriety test, and, if that is inconclusive, move on to a breath, urine or blood test. While law enforcement officers often use these tests to decide if you should be charged with DUI, there are times where the test may not provide the accurate results needed to prove a case against an individual.
How can cough drops and mouthwash affect truckers?
Think about your morning routine. You probably brush your teeth and eat breakfast. You might even gargle some mouthwash to be sure that your breath smells as fresh as possible. For truckers, including mouthwash in their morning routine could spell trouble because most mouthwashes include alcohol as an ingredient.
What you should know about Breathalyzers
When a police officer asks someone to submit to a breath test to determine his or her blood alcohol concentration, the test is carried out on a breath testing device commonly called a Breathalyzer. Courts accept the results of this test as evidence of a person's BAC, but the police department has to show that the machine can produce results that are reliable.
Blood-alcohol concentration: A primer
What happens when blood alcohol level reaches .08?
Any amount of alcohol in your system starts to impair you. Even with a blood alcohol level of only .02, you probably feel more relaxed than normal and your judgment is slightly impaired. By the time you reach .08, though, the impact can be much more severe.
Diabetes could lead to a DUI charge
When a person is arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, it is believed that the arresting officered made an accurate decision based on field sobriety tests. But did you know that some health concerns, such as diabetes, could lead to a false conclusion by a police officer?
