Just got a free breath tester with my Snooper. Anyone know whether they are actually accurate enough to rely on?
I wouldn't bother because the levels vary from the moment you take the test. How do you know that having consumed a reasonable amount and tested yourself that you are in fact on the way up and not down?
Ten minutes after the test you conduct on yourself, you may well creep over the limit.
The safe option is don't drink at all if you have to drive, but then I suppose it comes down to what is really important to you ( your car,your licence, your job, your marriage/relationship, your liberty, your life, someone elses life etc or two or three glasses of the amber nectar).
That's what I figured and I can do without drink drivers as much as anyone! I tried the thing out about 20 mins after having 1 pint and it went off the scale.
As you say, madcop, is a pint of lager really that important?? I think I can wait till the next session. Either that or get the wife to drive...

We have to wait for at least 20 minutes from the last consumption of alcohol on the Lion Machines that we use to do road side tests.
On a device that is probably not that accurate or calibrated, you are really risking things to even use it.
The best thing you can do is chuck it away so that you or anyone else is not tempted to use it.
