In the UK, roadside breath tests cannot be used in evidence. They are used as an indicator to the testee being above the legal limit.
If above the limit, the driver is arrested and taken to the local police station where an approved breath testing device (an extremely large machine about the size of a chest freezer) takes to separate samples. These are the samples used in evidence.
The driver cam also opt for blood samples to be taken instead of using the breath analyser.
If a driver refuses a roadside test, he can be arrested and taken to the station for the above tests.
