What planet are you on? The police have freely admitted that they use any excuse to stop drivers in order to carry out random breath tests on the Christmas run up. My point is that if the police think it's OK to act outside the law on one thing why not others? They are supposed to set an example of upholding the law, not breaking it.
In Sussex they have actually had road blocks where they breathalised every driver, no pretence at safety checks.
I'm all for stopping drink/drug drivers and I'm all for random checks, the law should be changed to allow the police to do random checks within the law.
In France random checks are the norm, I have been stopped a few times, no problem, I rarely drink more than a glass of wine with a meal,
but heaven help you if you don't have your drivers licence, certificate of insurance and log book with you.
