If your friend was 1mg over then they should have asked to have a blood sample taken. By the time a doctor has been called out your friends body would have processed the alcohol and your friend would have been let off.

Yea it's annoying... I would have thought the Police advise you on stuff like that though, as it is in your rights as far as I know...

Fcuking stupid, if you know you are going to be having just 1 drink then why drive?
Sorry but people that drink and drive should be locked up and set on fire.

i would of thought he would get the minimum with 1mg over which is a 12 month ban, £100 fine and then if he does the hapas cours get 1/4 off which is 3 months so may do 9 months.

Mate of mine got done three times over the limit got 18 month ban, or he could pay £300 and do some Drink driving Course and then it came down to 12 months. Basicly addmiting you have a dring prob even tho you dont then you get help and you can drive quicker

Just a point to add though... Whatever happens, if you get arrested for anything then you should always seek legal advice before you do anything at the Police station. (I know this guy did wrong and all) I reckon he could have got off being banned if he had known about the blood test thing.
