GETTING STARTED
ALCOHOL INFLUENCE ON TESTING
WARNING! Drinking alcohol and eating foods
containing alcohol will cause a failed alcohol test.
Some factors that may affect the results of a test
(because of possible residual alcohol in the mouth) are
consumption of medicines, drops, gum, smoking, and
using mouthwash or mouth spray. Rinsing the mouth
with water and swallowing after consumption of these
products will remove possible alcohol contamination.
Do not eat, smoke or drink for at least 15 minutes
before taking a test. Also, before taking a test, refrain
from using windshield washer fluid for at least 10 minutes
or using any aerosol air fresheners, disinfectants,
cologne, or, perfume in the vehicle, as these can also
contain alcohol.
NOTE: The above list of factors that may affect the results of a
breath test is not exhaustive. There are additional items that
may also affect the results. Follow this guide carefully to avoid
incorrect results and consult the service centre.
