[quote][i]Originally posted by chris-sri[/i] To clear a couple of things up, The Police don't need a reason to stop vehicles. Section 163 of the Road Traffic Act gives Police Officers the power to stop any vehicle on a road to check the drivers documents. This doesn't mean that they can randomly breath test everyone though. The Police can only ask you for a specimen of breath if you have committed a moving traffic offence, been involved in a road traffic accident or if the Officer suspects you are under the influence of alcohol. As for the accuracy of the machines, the roadside ones only give an indication and they are used to assist the Officer in deciding whether or not to arrest someone for driving whilst over the prescribed limit. The station breath test machines on the other hand are very accurate and the two specimens of breath must be within a certain range for the sample to be allowed to be used. If the samples fall outside that range (60 - 85 for example) then blood/urine should be taken instead. [/quote]
