And for good reason. Many a time a driver has failed a breathalyser, but passed the blood test. Portable breathalysers aren't as accurate and there can be calibration issues. I don't agree that they're now planning to deny the right to demand a blood test.
Additionally, the training courses are expensive. I did one rather than accept points, paid around £270 for a 2 day course. One instructor, about 30 people in the class. Seems a bit of a cash grab.
