Finding the Right Breathalyzer For You
We all know the potential consequences of drink driving – car damage, property damage, injuries and potentially even deaths. No matter where you are in the world, if you are caught by police driving a vehicle with a blood alcohol level that is over the legal limit, you will be facing some harsh punishment. In most countries, drink-driving offences lead to a substantial driving ban, if not jail, depending on the severity of the incident. Given how much we depend on our vehicle to go about our daily lives, the threat of being banned from driving could have a major impact on our lives. Causing an accident while drink-driving could have an even worse impact on our lives, or the life of someone else. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that many people are investing in their own personal breathalyzer.
How Do I Choose The Right Breathalyzer?
With so many different Personal Breathalyzing devices on the market, it can be difficult to choose which one is best for your needs. We’ve compiled three quick tips to help you make the right choice:
- Don’t be fooled by a cheap price. Generally speaking, the cheaper the breathalyzer, the lesser the quality. A breathalyzer is not a novelty item as you greatly rely on its accuracy. Although you may be tempted to choose the cut price option, go for quality over price.
- The sensor type will usually affect the price of the device. Devices with fuel cell sensors tend to be more expensive, but in the case of high alcohol blood levels, their readings are believed to be more accurate than their alternative, the semi-conductor sensor.
- Some Breathalyzers possess the intelligence to be able to tell you whether your blood alcohol limit is over the legal limit for driving in any selected country. If you travel a lot, you really should consider purchasing a device with such intelligence.
Taking the above three tips into consideration will ensure that you purchase the right type of breathalyzer that will cater for your needs.
