Why Use A Personal Breathalyser

  • A personal breathalyser gives you the ability to check your alcohol level in under 30 seconds. Many drivers are surprised by how much residual alcohol remains the morning after drinking. A quick test helps you identify this early and avoid costly consequences such as fines, licence loss, or extended interlock sentences.
  • Our devices use fuel cell sensor technology, the same type used in professional alcohol testing equipment. This provides dependable accuracy for New Zealand conditions and helps you make safer decisions long before you start your vehicle.
