In house Breathyliser and drugs testing

the nodding donkey:

HobNobRoy:
Class because RTK or any other firm introduce this sort of thing and you guys just accept it like the cameras.

Let us know how you get on after refusing to do it then we can use that as a test case if you decide to take it all the way.

Or are you the bend over yes man that you despise ?

There is a big difference between a company bringing in a system to breathalyse drivers (random, or if suspected of being under the influence) and actually breathalysing every driver coming through the door.

Like the driver facong cameras, they will be used when necessary, not blanket wide. There is no need to breathalyse most drivers. It’s the ones reeking of booze, it’s the ones know to get ■■■■■■ regularly, maybe even the ones saying they ‘only have a pint with a meal’… (no offence Rob :wink: ). Afterall, you only have that drivers word for it.

And most of us ‘of a certain age’ will remember the bad old days… be honest :open_mouth: :grimacing: . We’ve woken up in strange beds, we’ve lived to tell the tales, grown up, but not everybody has, and to be honest, there is a bigger problem than the old days, when drivers might have a bit of a woolly head. These days, there seems to be a bigger number of drivers who drink before, or even during their shift…

Breathalyse, cameras, tachographs, speed limiters, log books …
Every generation has their ‘final straw’, but in they end, you’re not going to stop it.

Non taken ND :smiley: , as you know there’s a world of difference between a pint with a meal, and getting rat arsed night before a morning shift.
