Drivers who have been drinking are to be banned from demanding a blood test at a police station after a breathalyser says they are over the limit.
Ministers want to stop drunks escaping justice by demanding a blood or urine test at a station to challenge the B-test result.
Currently people with a B-test reading between 35 and 50 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath can ask for a blood or urine test, which could put them under the 35 microgram legal limit by the time it is carried out.
