Does this sound right to anyone........
Driving home from work the other night on the M6 i was two cars behind a women in a shogun who decided to bounce off of one car and then turn right on the fast lane and crash into the central reservation at about 70mph.
To cut a long story short i pulled over and helped her but she was absolutley paraletic. She could hardly stand, refused to put her shoes on (driving without them )or move out onto the hard shoulder. Basically what i want to know is that from a later phone call from the police i found out she refused to do a breathiliser so they had to do a blood test but this takes 6-8 weeks to get back, i thought they could get the results from these within a couple of hours. Also can she drive in between as at the moment surely she can't be charged with drink driving until the resluts come back |

I wouldn't really like to comment other than the fact that something definately doesn't seem right.
Whether this is because of any substance abuse (alcohol or otherwise), or mental problems, or simply being over tired, I'll leave that for Mr Plod to establish. |

Anyway, I thought you were done for failing to do a breathalyser. (I guess she was incapable of blowing for long and hard enough, phnarr!) |

No idea about the 6-8 weeks wait, though. I thought it was alot quicker, too. |

However, it is an offence to refuse to give a sample (unless, for example, you have a medical reason such as haemophelia) and the penalties are at least as high as any drink-drive conviction would be, and often higher because Court will assume that you were ****ed as as well as obstructive. |

you can drive until the courts take your licence away, you can kill siz nuns whilst high on crack and as long as you dont get remannded you can drive home the next day .refusing to give a breath sample, gets you arrested and taken to a station where you are asked again to give one, if you refuse again you get booked for failing to give a sampoe, which unless you have a very very good reason will result in you being summonsed and most likely banned
if you fail at the roadside youre arressted and taken to a station and tested again on a different machine. its the good old british justice system , innocent until proven guilty and all that |

I still don't understand people who drink and drive, it makes no sense
If I pulled somebody out of a car who was p*ssed as a newt I dont know that after what happened to my mate I would be inclined to help them.
