ROAD TRANSPORT (ALCOHOL AND DRUGS) ACT 1977 - SECT 42B

Effect of noncompliance—refusal to give sample of breath

    (1)     This section applies if the court hearing a charge for an offence against section 22 is not satisfied that there has been compliance with every provision (a testing provision ) of this Act relating to that part of the carrying out of a breath analysis that is required to be carried out before the sample of breath is supplied.

Note     A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including a regulation (see Legislation Act

, s 104).

    (2)     The court must dismiss the charge unless satisfied that despite the failure to comply with a testing provision the result obtained in a breath analysis, if it had taken place, would have been the prescribed concentration for the person.
