🚨 If Police Knock After You've Driven Home and Ask for a Breath Test — Say THIS

Make Them Pay: https://knowrightsuk.gumroad.com/l/know-your-rights You drove home an hour ago, perfectly normally. The car is cold on the drive, the telly is on, and you have poured yourself a glass of wine the way you have on a Friday for thirty years. Then a knock at the door: we need a breath sample from you. That glass — poured at home, after the driving was over — is now the most important object in the house, because of how the law reads a specimen taken afterwards. This video is the one place where the usual advice on this channel inverts: you comply immediately, and you protect the facts instead of your silence. 📋 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS — Why section 6 reaches the driver who has already got home, not just the one at the wheel — The four routes into a preliminary test, and the uniform requirement — Section 6E: the only entry power here, tied to an accident with a suspected injury — Where the specimens that decide a case are actually taken, under section 7 — Why refusing carries the same maximum as drink driving itself: 6 months, unlimited fine, 1-year ban — Section 15(2): the court assumes you were at least as high at the wheel as in the specimen — Section 15(3): the drink after driving, and the two things the accused has to prove — Why pouring it away and binning the bottle destroys your own evidence — The three sentences to say at the door, in order — Why a medical reason has to be raised at the time, not remembered afterwards 🔎 SOURCES Road Traffic Act 1988, sections 6, 6E and 7. Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, section 15. GOV.UK: Drink-driving penalties. Every source is on screen as I read it. ⚠️ THE PART TO REMEMBER Provide the specimen. Refusing without reasonable excuse is its own offence and carries the same maximum as the offence you are trying to avoid. Say when you drove and what you drank since, once. Leave the glass, the bottle and the receipt exactly where they are. Comply, never resist. Refuse consent, never a lawful order. And if you were over the limit at the wheel, none of this helps you, and none of it is meant to. FREE HELP FIRST. The duty solicitor at a police station costs you nothing, ever, at any hour. Always the free route before anybody paid. 📘 Make Them Pay — how a complaint about a police encounter is actually made, with five template letters and the parts you fill in marked in brackets: https://knowrightsuk.gumroad.com/l/know-your-rights England and Wales only — Scotland has a lower limit and its own rules. This is general legal education, not advice about your situation. I am a solicitor but not your solicitor. Has an officer ever turned up at your door about driving?
