Qlikview Breath Tests report
Date of test 01/01/2020 - 30/11/2021
Mode = Road
120 micrograms and over
Data Limitations:
I have provided figures broken down by gender from our roadside breath test database for tests
where the breath reading is over 119 micrograms.
There is a default setting of 10 where the age is not recorded for roadside breath tests.
The data in that database is limited so I have provided details from Unifi relating to drink driving
charges.
Offenders would be charged following a breath/blood alcohol level reading over the legal limit.
Please tell me how many people were charged with drink driving involving breath readings in excess of 119 micrograms of alcohol (or the equivalent in blood – 275mg and above) since January 2020, broken down by;
