Breathalyzer Test
Hi everyone!
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens Park around 3 am. Two cops were checking to see if anyone had a bit too much to drink that night. I stopped and the officer asked if I had anything to drink. I was honest and said that I finished having two drinks at least 1.5 hours before. He asked me for my license and to step out of the car. He proceeded to do the following:
1. Asked what year, make, and model my car was.
2. My height, weight, and to confirm that my address on the license was correct. I have a G license, which I've had for about 2 years now.
3. He then asked me to walk with him to his cruiser to perform a breathalyzer test, which kind of shocked me at first. He read the demand, and I agreed.
I performed the test and blew a 12, not to anyone's surprise. I drank a total of 5 drinks that night starting at 10 pm and ending at 1:30 am.
He then said that I had nothing to worry about, for the warning zone is above 50, and that 80 is definitely bad news.
He walked me back to my car and allowed me to drive away. I thanked him for being vigilant and make sure the ones that do blow over get off the road immediately.
I know convictions are the worst thing to have, but will this event show up on my driving record, or become knowledge to any other police officer who pulls me over for a routine stop?
Thanks for your time!
