What NOT to do at a RBT

[Ryzz]

:lol: this has to be a case of the dumbest person i have ever seen!!!

Was driving across the Spit Bridge in Mosman(Sydney) and could see a RBT Unit at the other end of the bridge. Anyway someone ahead of me decided he didnt like the look of the RBT, so he decides (about 15-20metres from the RBT) to do a 3 point U-turn into on coming traffic.

Needless to say, the cops sprinted into a waiting SS (obvioulsy the falcons arnt reliable enough to have as a chase car in this situation :rolleyes: ) and gave chase looking looking like a rolling disco.

Anyone want to put a wager on how many offences they could throw at this guy once they caught him??

[Drizzt]

It'll depend on if he was drinking or not and whether he was being a smartass. I'd say 2 or 3 for dangerous driving, illegal u-turn and possibly speeding but if he blow up any alcohol in his system, they'll throw teh book at him.


Drizzt.

Many moons ago a mate was pulled over and asked by Mr. Plod to please blow into the bag (now I'm showing my age). His half drunk smartarsed reply "whats the matter are your chips hot?" got no laughs from the cop!

I was passenger when a young female friend got breathalysed and I saw firsthand what not to do.
The cop took the reading thru one of those older style units with the straw on top and was confused by the results till it dawned on him the young lass had been sucking instead of blowing on the straw. :lol:

... till it dawned on him the young lass had been sucking instead of blowing on the straw. :lol:

Well normally when a bloke tell her to "blow this" he wants her to .... :lol:

[RIDE:42]

did the battery out?

[HOTSV8]

A mate of mine was running an RBT and pulled some wally over . As he was walking to the car he saw the driver frantically getting his smokes out and lit one up . When said mate asked wally to blow in the bag , wally said he couldn't be tested due to him smoking . Pigs arse mate . 5 times over the limit later and wally can smoke all he wants but he won't be driving for a while . :beer:

which reminds me of an RBT setup on the centential park part of oxford street in sydney where there is a one way no entry lane about 100m before the RBT. I drove past the other night and there was a queue of about 7 cars which had turned down this one way to street to get away from the RBT, with a booze bus and paddy wagon waiting in the lane.

[Devil CV8]

I have the cops set up RBT opposite my place on a regular basis and I live just after a corner. A few years back I heard a car door and went outside expecting to see my wife arriving home. It wasn't, it was the cops just getting setup for RBT, and they had just turned their lights on when my wife drove around the corner and immediately hit the brakes, and indicated as she pulled in the driveaway. Didn't that get them running... They came running over and asked if she lived here, she said, I'll blow in the bag, I don't drink....
One of the funniest things I've seen for a while, the wife asking the cops to breath test her, and the cops back peddling.... :lol:

A guy who used to work for me was coming back from down Bega way one long weekend and was pulled over for a breath test. He told the cop that he was a tee-totaller but the cop wasn't interested and tested him anyway - zero! So off he goes and about 50km further on - another RBT who pull him over to blow in the gadget. Again he says that he's a tee-totaller and also he's just been tested 50km back. Yeah, yeah, says the cop - blow anyway. So, he does - still zero ! So off he goes again and, you wouldn't believe it, about another 80km further on he sees another RBT about 100m ahead, so he pulls over and asks his missus to drive. Well, the coppers waved them down and asked him (in the passenger seat) to blow thinking they had real certainty! He said that his wife was driving - test her! So they did - zero. They then insisted that he also test. He said I'm a tee-totaller and I've already been tested twice in the last 100km. Yeah sure says the cop! Just blow! So he did - zero! They tested again - zero! So they asked why he had changed drivers. Because I was tired he said... So, they let them go after 15 minutes of stuffing around, but as they drove off they could see the cops scratching their heads, thinking - We've been conned here somehow, but they couldn't work out quite how. :lol:

Order Donuts!!!

[flappist]

If you want to scam the booze bus, just chew ice before blowing in the bag.
The polariscope (grog'o'meter) is configured to read exhaled air at body temp. If the air is colder then the alcahol percentage will read lower.
I have proven this on several occasions.
Reading before ice, .22, reading after ice .03........
And no I wasn't driving just pissed with a few mates who wear blue pajamas

Oh and this won't really work if you stink of rum or beer, coppers arent that stupid

[VYBerlinaV8]

I have it on good authority (a friend from a while back with a PhD in chemistry), that if you hyperventilate for a few breaths before being breathalysed you will get a lower reading. This is because the breathalyser works by oxidising alcohol in the breath sample. Hyperventilating speeds up the oxidising process, so there is less alcohol in the sample to oxidise: hence, a lower reading.

I don't know if this is for real, but sounds plausible. I have never tested it because I don't take the car if I'm going to have a few brews.

I've been breath tested 61 times in 10 years!!!!

[VooDoo]

I was regulary pulled over in the old VQ HSV Stato

waved though 4 times in the new Caprice :)

[Rod]

Dont ask me why but I've only been breathalysed 3 times since they were first introduced and one of those times I asked to be breathalysed because I was walking home and wondered if I could've driven after all. Come to think of it I dont even think I've even seen a breathalyser this year yet...obviously making enough money out of speeders :rolleyes:

[blownvn]

I was breathalysed three times in the one day by the same copper driving up and down the Putty road.

[Devil CV8]

Having the RBT opposite my place has had me breath tested a number of times in a matter of minutes.
I drove out my driveway heading to my wife's workplace and got tested. Came back into town 10 minutes later, tested. Went and got some takeaway and was taking it to my wife, tested. Returning home a few minutes later, pulled over, cop goes haven't we tested you already..
My answer... yes, 3 times already, and if you moved down the road 50 metres I could get in my driveway without being tested all the time.. :) He just lauphed and waved me through.

1st guy I ever charged with Ex PCA wasn't a drinker... just ask him.
He was freash outta the slammer for drink driving offences and blew the magic numbers.

Short tale of a few blokes having some ales at the local.
One bloke walks out of the pub staggering all over the joint and cops sitting quietly in a secluded parts of the car park. This bloke still staggering around the car park for a few minutes looking for his car. Finds his car and tries to open the passenger door with his keys and realises he is on the wrong side of the car. Walks around the other side dropping his keys six times on the way.
He hops in to the car and roots around for a while.
Starts the car and starts to drive off.
Sirens start going and the coppers think its christmas and pull him over.
Breath in to this please driver they ask, looking for a huge result, 0.0. The cops think what the Fark. Breath in to this again thanks driver. 0.0 was the result again.
Excuse me sir but how much have you had to drink?
Nothing say the gentleman.
Why were you staggering all over the joint?
I am the designated decoy officer.
10 minutes from the pub door to driving the car away.
End result, his six buddies all drove home scott free.

[mavss]

... They came running over and asked if she lived here....
I swear officer. I've never seen this lady before in my life :hide:

I had a friend who actually put this to good use one night. Hyperventilated, blew into the breatho and came in under the limit. The cop asked why he stunk of alcohol, his reply to the cop " you should have been a sniffer dog " :D And he actually got away with it.

[mavss]

I've been breath tested 61 times in 10 years!!!!
I don't know which is more disturbing.

The fact that you've been breathalised 61 times or the fact that you're keeping count :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I went down to deanos dinner (on princess hwy just down from temp tyres) one night to get something to eat with the girlfriend. We got our food and decided go into the next side street about 10metes down and parked on a boat ramp over looking the water and princess hwy. on the way down we could see a rbt with big bright flashing lights about 500meters down princess hwy. Next thing i know a copper is knocking on the window. i was thinking he wanted me to move cause i was blocking the boat ramp but he gave me a breath test and left I though that was a bit strange. As we were eating for the next 20min we saw at least 30 cars pull into the street to do a u turn or switch drivers and everyone of them got nailed by the coper who was waiting in his car in the dark until he found the right time to pounce.

It was the funniest thing but you gotta hand it to the coppers for there clever thinking

[BIGDAO]

I get breath tested on average at least once a week, and being a non-drinker I always blow .00 every time...until a couple weeks ago I blew .02 (I'm off my P-plates so it didn't really matter), I asked the officer why I would have blown .02 even though I haven't had anything alcoholic for 6 years, and he just laughed and said 'on your way'.

I researched this a little bit on the net once I got home, and Google told me some things along the lines of medication, vegetables, even having performed oral sex on a female can affect your reading!

[Glenn@Autowerks]

even having performed oral sex on a female can affect your reading!

Now thats one I have never heard before :lmao:

[JezzaB]

...of medication, vegetables, even having performed oral sex on a female can affect your reading!

Is it if you use them all at the same time eg. On medication whilst using vegatables and performing oral sex?

[MICK_EZEKIEL]

I have found I mostly get waved through and havent been random tested for drugs or alcohol for ages since i got the VT... Went through a random drug test a few days back and got waived through, mate behind me got waved in... When I had the VR though and on my P's I always got waived in...

I dont drink so I always blow zero anyways... Im always the loser friend who is the desiganted driver..

I remember one night 4 years ago when I was living in Melbourne... I was at Crown with some friends and had a couple drinks... I was gonna catch a cab home but i lived in Narrie Warren and wait for a cab was about an hour.. I was on my P's... after waiting an hour for a cab i thought stuff it.. i'll risk it i only had 2 drinks should of warn off by now...

Grabbed my car was was going down the Monash freeway... was about 2am... the signs that say the trip time was lit up red said 30mins to warragal road.. thought it was odd as it only takes 10... thought the sign was just stuffed... next sign said 15mins for a usual 5min trip... thought well they are wired up so if the first is out so would the second...

Next thing i go over the hill and see a booze bus setup for all 4 lanes... it kicked in and i started to think.. oh no... 6 month loss of licence... even though i would be under .05 cause i was on my P's i should be 0.00... I was in the queue waiting to be breath tested...

Cop waived the 3 cars in front of me in.... pointed at my car... waived me through.. then pointed at the 3 cars behind me and waived them in...

I saw that as the one chance i had and i havent drank and driven since...

[Fezz]

Is it if you use them all at the same time eg. On medication whilst using vegatables and performing oral sex?
:rofl:


I saw that as the one chance i had and i havent drank and driven since...
Mate, that's the smartest thing you could ever do. I've had a couple before and driven and when I look back I realise how stupid I was and I don't intend on risking it again.

[NinetySix]

strange that... but i guess yeast is an ingredient in beer :hide:

[Glenn@Autowerks]

This one got away, in the news atm.....

Pair arrested for obstructing police

January 28, 2006
A MAN and a teenage girl have been arrested after police were led on a car chase in Queensland's southeast last night.

The male driver allegedly sped off in a Holden Commodore sedan after he was pulled over for a random breath test on Marine Parade at Coolangatta on the Gold Coast at 11pm (AEST) last night.
Police chased the car a short distance into Maclean Street before the driver fled on foot.
Police say he has not been located. The passengers, a 17-year-old girl and a 24-year-old man, were charged with obstructing police and will appear in the Coolangatta Magistrates Court on February 2.

Pretty ordinary form for those discussing how to "fake" RBT readings......:fewl:

Only dickheads drink and drive, anyone who thinks otherwise should talk to victims of drunk morons at the wheel of any car, let alone high power v8's.
