Traffic Offences FAQ - Can medication influence alcohol readings?
Date: May 20, 2011
Q. I was recently charged with high range PCA and don’t understand how this occurred as I only had two drinks on the particular night and am wondering whether my medication could have influenced the reading?
A. There are certain types of medication which can influence blood alcohol concentrations or readings which are obtained as a result. Unfortunately a certain amount of scientific evidence has to be produced and this is not cheap. Where a driver’s licence is essential for an individual’s ability to maintain their employment or business then of course this should be properly investigated to give you the best possible chance of properly defending the matter.
