A Must read for Police officers,prosecuters and defence teams In the UK, it is not unlawful to drink and drive. It is only unlawful to drive whilst above the prescribed limit of alcohol or be unfit to drive through the amount of alcohol consumed. The prescribed limit also differs around the UK, with Scotland, for example, having a stricter level than England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Prosecutions of suspected drink drivers sometimes fail because the police fail to follow correct procedures. As an ex-police custody sergeant, police trainer and now expert witness, I have conducted in excess of 1000 evidential drink drive procedures, taught officers what they should be doing, and provided courts with reports for what the officers did or did not do. Time and time again prosecutions fail because officers do not comply with basic fundamental principles and practices in law, or lack knowledge and confidence in which procedure they should be following.
