    they gonna hav a chart thing and if your pupils r above a certain one or below then apparently u must b on drugs. :spangled: :lol: there r loads of reasons why u pupils cud b different sizes.

    Your eyes could be different if you were wearing contact lenses instead of glasses:(

    I think that would be quite hard to start with. Have you ever tried counting 30 secs or a minute out, more often than not you'll do it too fast or too slow!

    I went shopping the other week to the Metrocentre, and picked Rach up from Newcastle on the way back. When we got back she asked if I had been on something as my pupils were really big, I'd never even had a drink all night, and there was no reason why I had bigger pupils than normal, so how could they use that to conclude that you had taken drugs?

    i think all the tests are used together to justify them arresting you on SUSPISION of driving while under the influence - then back at the station u get piss tested.

    in reality they could nick u for doing owt even slightly dodgy by using the 'suspicion' rule...then clear it up at the station if you're clean with a 'sorry - be on your way' agreement!

    Your all being too pedantic. Like Scruf says, ur hardly going to get locked up for life if u fail the test. It'll just be the first stage.

    Simple solution is to not drug drive, then u won't get caught.

    Can't find anything on what Claire is talking about on the net, these are interesting tho:

    with booze - the severity of the charge/sentance depends on the LEVEL of alcohol in your system - how is this checked/used in convictions for drug driving?

    seems a grey area at the moment, nowhere near as nailed down as alcohol limits.... but i suppose with an illegal drug, it's different.
