Question 305 in the bank

Can a “blood alcohol test” by means of a breathalyzer device be considered admissible evidence in a court of law?

  1. No, only a blood test is admissible evidence in a court of law.
  2. No, only a saliva test is accepted as accurate evidence in a court of law.
  3. Correct answer: Yes.
  4. No, only an alcohol test which is performed in a hospital is admissible evidence.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes.

A breath test made with an approved breathalyzer by a police officer is admissible evidence in court, and a driver can be prosecuted for drunk driving based on its result. A blood test, saliva test or hospital test is not required to prove the alcohol level. So a roadside breath test should never be taken lightly, because its result carries full legal weight.
