No relief for drivers caught by recalled breathalyzers

More than 1,200 drivers blew in the "warn" range before police decided to recall the province's breathalyzer machines in November to have them adjusted, but their tickets still stand.

Despite the tough new drinking and driving rules, many people are still choosing to drive while impaired. The monthly average since the new rules were introduced is 557 people blowing in the "warn" range of .05 to .08 blood alcohol and 1,129 blowing in the "fail" range of over .08 each month in B.C., Martin said.

A faulty machine is not listed as a grounds for appeal. However, if someone believes they weren't drunk, they can appeal, Martin said.
