I have just bought my first car and wondered if anyone can tell me?

Question

where i the uk i can buy a breathalyser to use at home so if i go out i know when i can drive the next day - shops only pls no internet sites thank you.

Answer 1

Check Pharmacies/Chemists...I think they sell some.

Answer 2

Do not risk drinking and driving, the shop bought breath testers might not be very good and you think you are safe, get stopped by the old bill, blow into his breath tester and bingo, no licence, a ban and very very expensive insurance when you get your licence back again.

Answer 3

I know 2 Driving Instructors. The one sticks to the code fully, and has a breatheliser. The Police ones are larger and more commerically graded.

The instructor bought hers from Makro (Member)

There is an advert in the back of My 'What Car' Magazine advertising a celebrity using one to test himself and other family members.

Answer 8

You can get them in some chemists. I would not rely on the accuracy of them though.

If you get that boozed at night it might be a good idea not to drive the next day! Seriously.

Answer 9

Most chemists sell them. I would not rely on them though, as they aren't always accurate and would you want to risk losing your licence because it didn't work properly?

Answer 10

yes you can get them from chemists but how accurate i dont know. wouldent be willing to risk my license on the strenght of it best soloution is to give it 12 hours after your last drink or if you were realy hammered stay in bed the rest of the day

Answer 11

you shouldn't be drinking or if you do, you should know the amount...

Answer 12

I'd say instead of buying one, learn your limits.

You will know in time when your hitting sober.

When I go to a bar, I usually switch to coffee if I know I'm leaving within an hour and I try never to get drunk, just buzzed.
