Police carried out breath tests on 6,312 (motorcyclists involved in an accident in 2018) and the failure rate was 3.5%... Best to get one of these then." We tested it [AlcoSense Pro] scientifically (not in the pub, honest) with some control alcohol measured to read just below the UK’s 35ml drink-drive limit. Tested on the sort of super-accurate unit the Police will use at the station for your conviction, we found our test unit [the AlcoSense Pro] read almost exactly the same as the Police device.

The Elite 3 is now 30% more accurate than the Elite 2 and importantly, it is less sensitive to drift between calibrations; improving the long-term accuracy of the breathalyser. I would never knowingly drive over the limit, but I was becoming increasingly concerned about 'morning after' breathalyser tests that I had read about and bought this to find out just where I stood on that. especially when the night has gone on and you may feel you have had a evenings drinking separated by a night sleep.
