Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Inside the Blackpool within United Kingdom a certain electrician by profession has tried to unsuccessfully beat a breathalyzer device test by carefully placing a a copper coin into his mouth.  This person was Martyn Shepherd of age 47 who was stopped immidately and caught while being intoxicated in his Vauxhall Combo van.

According to one immidate police report, he was on his way home and was not steady on his feet ( kept slipping and more ) and placed a copper coin in his mouth to try to fool the breathalyzer testing device, which some people believe would influence the breath testing device.  He had well over .61 micrograms of alcohol in his blood system, however the legal limit for United Kingdom is .35 micrograms.

He pleaded guilty to driving with lot of excess alcohol in front of the main Blackpool magistrates.  So far it seems he has been restricted to driving for only 18 months and has been fined for more then 400 pounds.
