I got breathalysed just now… it was pretty fun… well, fun ‘cos I passed the thing. Here’s the transcript… or at least how I remembered it:
Cop1: ‘scuse me sir, did you drink?
Me: yes.
Cop 1: When, what and how many did you drink?
Me: An hour ago, gin tonic and just one.
Cop1: Sir, it’s our SOP to give you a further check since you’ve had a drink.
Me: Ok. *grin*
Cop2: Sir, I’d need you to take a simple test. Have you got asthma?
Me: Yes.
Cop2: *stutter* do you have your medication with you?
Me: No.
Cop2: Ur… ah… I need you to blow into this tube for 5 secs. Are you able to blow for 5 secs without getting the asthma?
Me: Sure.
Cop2 causiously passes me the device and I blew in it.
Cop2: Ok, a little bit longer… wait, blow somemore… *me turning green* wait… ok… sir, you’ve passed the test. please wait awhile while I log this check.
I waited, got my IC and liscence and left…

Here’s how you can get the cops to breathalyse you at a road block; tell them you have had ONE drink. Their SOP would be to give you a test.
Here’s why you should get yourself breathalysed; since they’ve wasted your time stopping you, the least you could do for them is to waste their time… and their stupid straw too.
Unless you know you can’t make it… then lie like you’ve never done before right from the beginning and hope for the best that they do not call your bluff.
