Inspired by Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) of 9 February 2023, straight.
Though I’d drunk one or two, I felt fine,
Then I drove through a hidden Stop sign,
The cops stopped me, but hell,
I came over quite well,
‘Til they told me to walk in a line.
Mister Bump 
I can’t believe they actually do that. 🙄

You bet they do! And also recite the alphabet backwards; I couldn’t do that under any conditions!

It doesn’t surprise me that any of these are used informally, since they’re all good indicators, but I bet the only thing that matters legally is a blood test. There’s no such crime as “failing to walk in a straightr line”.

The police also have breathalyzers built into their flashlights which they shine in the drivers face. As soon as the driver opens his/her mouth, the police get an alcohol level reading. Pretty cheeky.

Here they have breathalysers – I’m not sure how they work – but even so, that only gives the police the power to arrest you and demand a blood test. As you can imagine, both failing the test and refusing it are offences. Which all makes perfect sense except they fired all the police.
