It's fairly simple. The legal limit is 35. If someone fails the roadside test they should be taken back to the Police Station, put on the intoximeter and then if they provide two samples and the lowest is over 35 they get charged.
Forget about whether the officers had hats on, if they used the exact wording when informing the driver he is under arrest etc. All that should be needed is a warning that a sample is needed, explain refusal is an offence and thats it.
If the driver was in the car and blew over 35 he should be getting used to taxis for 12 months, end of story.
