Reply With Quotenever been RBT'd so cant say.
mate blew over for no reason once, he said he hadnt been drinking and they told him to wait 5 mins and tried asgain, no reading.
dodgy machiones me thinks
Cops in Qld are great! I JUST FAILED A ROADSIDE BREATH TEST @ 0.15
I got pulled over this morning at about 11am and was breathalised.
I managed to blow 0.15 !!! Yikes! 3 Times the limit!
Now before i get flammed..... no i have not been drinking at all !
I had brushed my teeth and mouthwashed with listerene about 25mins before i headed into town.
The cop looked at the failed reading, called his partner over and looked at me and said "Big night huh?"
I was shocked when he showed me the reading.
I realised what was the cause and told him.
They were really good about it and I took a swig of water and blew again a few minutes later and did not register as was expected.
We all had a good chuckle about it. They said that sometimes if you have just had some cherry ripe you can also register a small amount too!
Hats off to the boys in blue, who were out doing their job (in the rain). Much respect to them for the abuse and the deadbeats they have to deal with.
I dont want this to turn into a how to pass a test if ur over the limit..... But apart from alcohol, what have you had that has registered during a breath test?
P.S. IF YOU DRINK AND DRIVE.........UR A BLOODY IDIOT!!!!!!!!

Story Time.
My first time at a booze bus, on my L's.
"Have you been drinking, oh wait your to young to drink anyway"
I blow into the machine. Cops goes "are you sure you havent been drinking", im like yeah im sure, he looks really weird at the machine and stares at me, and asks me again. He goes ok lets try it again. Blow again and didnt blow a reading. I'd hate to know what I blew the first time caus the look on his face he was looking quiet confused.
We were driving around the other night, my brother driving and got pulled over. Blew and they told him he was over blah blah, and he is going to have to go down to the station for a further test etc. My brother whos really shy was looking quite confused as he knew he wasnt over, so we asked to be tested again. What do you know, he doesnt blow a reading.
Im not dissing the cops because in both cases they were happy to test again. BUT i do question there equipment.

when i read the thread title i thought it was another spaz who broke a law and was then blaming the cops for enforcing the law.
good to hear your experience was fairly positive, and the cops were good blokes about it.

With you 100% on that one mate.I've had about 50 RBTs in my time.

Have been driving for 20 + years.
I dont drink...... never have, probably never will...... but you can imagine my suprise when it came up such a high reading this morning.
I have been pulled over many times in the same night and breath tested by the same coppers.( i am usually the designated driver)
I dont have an issue with it at all.
Police are doing a fantastic job as far as i am concerned. Just doing their job by removing the idiots off the streets!
So Wet For You!
I'm waiting for the day i get a reading. 'So your telling me i'm also pregnant officer?, kinda a little impossible...'

Helps when you have only just got your licensecause ive never been pilled over
we like the bun
when i was on my Ps i had a drink at a party then got coerced by some 'mates' to go out for a drive and pick something up. pretty stupid. i got pulled over, blew "not zero" and was sweating bullets when the cops got the urgent radio call to scramble, just like in the movies! i was pretty rapt at the time.
ive been pulled up for heaps of RBT's and one time i saw the woman cop absolutely smack the crap out of the breath allizerr after she tested the driver in the car in front of me...im surprised it still worked...well it did for me lol
haha maybe the donut shop was being robed:P

go in Luxury
they have a good setup not far from home on a Saturday night.
Setup on a main road, so you drive around a big arse roundabout, see the blue and red from the bus. Some people turn off at the side street just before them, seems like the smart thing to do ...
... oh wait, they setup there too and stop EVERYONE who goes down there, opposed to maybe every 2nd or 3rd car that goes past them on the main road
People practically dob themselves in by turning off there to avoid the test

here in adelaide, most people know they setup just down the hill at number 1 anzacs, i always pull a u bolt and avoid the rbt, not cause i drink and drive, just dont like wasting my timethey never try and follow me, and i do it blaintly obvious too lol
HAHAHA!!! Yeah... I have seen people come around the corner and basically lock it up trying to stop to turn down another street etc. They draw so much attention to themselves it is not funny!People practically dob themselves in by turning off there to avoid the test
Rick =]
pretty much every time ive been pulled over it was a rbt, and a couple were the vans..
they have a good strategy here aswell, random nights they put a booze bus on the freeway just after the westgate bridge just over a hill (so drivers cant see it) and the exit before it has cops doing rbt's aswell......
sucks to be them if they have been drinking
thats april then? thats practically winter so cops aren't as active..... summer will be the test (and if you dont get a rbt done, you are one luckkkkkkky man lol)
Donating Member
^^^ meh i went 3 years without ever gettting pulled over and even now ive only ever been pulled into 1 rbt.
We got rep back, yaaay!

If that was me. We would have WWIII happening. I don't drink at all, so it would shock a few if that reading was mine.
Now in a Calais
I get pulled into RBT's quite regularly... they set up in two separate locations on my route to the gym, so I'm stopped a couple times every month at least. Got pulled into one on the weekend out near Broadmeadows too. I've always blown 0.00.
