We have various time limits. For the mandatory screening, they must have the approved screening device with them. Use of the approved screening device on suspicion must be within three hours. However, for the breath test to try to establish an “over 80” offence, there is no time limit as there currently is now. There are cases, particularly people who flee the scene of an accident, where the police do not find them until three hours later but still have good reason to believe they were impaired and have alcohol in their system.
Accordingly, this bill would propose to eliminate the artificial three hours. Currently, if they arrive there three hours and ten minutes later, they're stuck. Under this legislation, they would do it. As you know, there is a formula available in here for calculating BAC etc., so it all fits together, if I can put it that way.
