Hi- I am struggling on similar topic, what is the distinction between the 'breath test' v 'breath analysis', to me it is not clear in the book on page 176. Thank you
The breath test is actually a screening method
Often replaced as a screening test by simply blowing towards a sniffer device these days, as the breath test takes a fair bit of time and effort
If you fail the breath test, or the sniffer test (meaning the alcohol level in your breath is to high) you'll be subjected to a breath analysis, which is more accurate and returns a number to quantify the level of intoxication.
To confuse things even further the breath test and breath analysis can be done on the same device, working in different modes ...
