SOLICITORS FOR FAILING TO PROVIDE A SPECIMEN
If a person is stopped by the police and asked to take a road side breath test, refusal to do so without reasonable excuse will amount to a criminal offence.
Similarly, a refusal without reasonable excuse to take an evidential breath test, on an Intoximeter at the police station, is also a criminal offence.
Not only can such a failure lead to a disqualification from driving, but if where an evidential breath test has been refused, a prison sentence can be imposed.
In conducting a breath test the police must follow strict procedure and a defence can arise due to failures of the police to follow this appropriately.
Similarly, if there is good medical reason, then this may give rise to a defence and we would be able to utilise our knowledge of this area and contact with the most suitable, appropriate, independent experts to provide an evidential basis upon which to found such a defence.
