Random breath test, it's to test blood alcohol level because it's illegal to drink and drive here.

The cops just pick a random roadside and spend about 1 hour pulling people over to test. I've been getting pulled over more frequently these days, I'd even say on a monthly basis! Thankfully my new car hasn't attracted negative attention from them.

Ah, OK. Googled it and got too many options for the abbreviation.

We've got that in the Netherlands too. "Blaastest" it is called here.

All on the same route? Do you use a route used a lot by people who drink and drive?

I got my license in either August or September, 1967.  So, about 48 years.

About 32 yrs now.
I was lined up outside the DMV the day after I turned 16.

Took me almost the whole friggin year to pass the test and I still can't parallel park worth shit, but then I can't remember getting stuck in any situation where I really "had" to.  :dunno:

I've been pulled over a couple of times. Twice for speeding.
