Blood Alcohol Testing Versus Breathalyzer

Submitted by Taran Rampersad on Tue, 02/09/2010 - 09:16

After finally getting some time to look over the amendment to the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act (the amendment is attached below), I think that for the most part it is reasonable. One thing, though, bothers me.

Nowhere does it state that someone accused of being drunk can volunteer to take a blood alcohol test.

The tips stated at the end of Camille Bethel's article, "Club owners: We will try our best" (Sunday Express, 22 Nov 2009), such as to suck on Powermints and chewing gum, don't help to reduce the incidences of drunk driving.  While sensible folks may realise that, there are some who may take your words as fact so there should've been clear text to indicate that those were not acceptable tips for remaining sober.
