Question 5050
If a driver is found to have a breath alcohol level of 0.3 milligrams per liter in exhaled air, may the officers request a second test?
- No.
- Yes, after a minimum of 10 minutes has passed between the first and the second test.
- Yes, but this second test may only be performed by means of a blood test.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, after a minimum of 10 minutes has passed between the first and the second test.
Yes. At 0.3 mg/l, you exceed every permitted limit, including the general limit of 0.25 mg/l, so the officer gives you a second breath test. At least 10 minutes must pass between the two. You may also request a blood test to confirm the result.
