Random breath testing article

[FordsForever]

I was having an argument/conversation with the missus the other night when watching RBT. She asked why no one was ever asking for their exact reading when they blow over before being taken to the station to get another reading. I said its because police aren't allowed to tell you the reading. She disagreed and after a bit of a hunt on the internet I came across an article which proved I was right...wanted to share it actually covers a whole heap of questions regarding breath testing that you might find interesting.
