Can people buy home testing kits to determine whether they are over the drink drive limit?

i often wonder how people who have been drinking know how much alcohol is still in their systems the next morning and think a test that you can buy over the counter would be a good idea.

I've seen them in gas stations before.

Let's just hope the people who buy them purchase them in advance, and not while they're drunk.

"Hang on, let me just run to the gas station and buy one of those Breathalyzer things... that'll settle it once and for all! But you're going to have to give me back my keys, first!"

as others have mentioned they are readily available in various outlets however i am not so sure about the how true the results are the best thing to do is just don`t drink and drive

Well that's certainly a good idea. Let's just hope they arn't too drunk to do the test! lol

I'd say you can, and their probably fairly reliable but obviously not as reliable as the police's. Halfords, Kevin Coopers etc. will sell them.

Morrisons petrol stations also sell home test kits.

As everyone else said, yes you can.

Warning: I've heard that Breathalyzers can lead to seriously combatatve drinking when not used responsibly.

You can buy them - but would you trust them?!

tash

yes you can and they are a really good idea and they really do work.... maybe if they gave them away free in pubs it would reduce drink driving cos people would do it for fun then realise they cant drive... any thing is possible.

YES IN HALFORDS

There's a kit you can buy from Halfords for it, and sometimes they have the machines in pubs that you put a coin in and it tells you if you're over the limit.
