I don't want to encourage drink driving but I think there are a lot of myths around this subject. Is there any documented evidence showing that anyone has ever failed the new Scottish breathalyser test half hour or so after drinking a pint of (normal strength) bitter?

Must be much more to this than meets the eye I think? The picture shows the lorry cutting in IN FRONT of the car, so how the car then managed to get into a position where the lorry was able to 'deliberately and repeatedly ram' him, god only knows.....
