Practical English for Police Officers
G: Why should I take a breathalyzer test?
Look! I am riding a bicycle.
I’m not on a motor scooter or driving a car.
It can’t be drunk driving if I’m not “driving”.
C: Sir, according to the latest regulations, riding a bicycle while
intoxicated is subject to a fine from NTD 600 to NTD 1,200.
If you refuse to take a breathalyzer test, then you will be fined
NTD 2,400. Sir, please show me your Alien Resident Certificate
(ARC) or any photo ID.
G: Okay! But I didn’t drink.
I just consumed some litchi at a gathering.
I was told that eating litchi can cause higher alcohol reaction to
the breathalyzer test.
C: You are allowed to rinse your mouth before the breathalyzer
test.
Please step over here now.
You just said that there was a gathering.
How long ago did you leave the gathering? Have you been
drinking?
G: Half an hour ago.
I didn’t drink. We just had some stuff to eat.
C: Please blow into the breathalyzer until the number shows.
