🚨 If a UK Officer Says I Can Smell Alcohol — Say ONLY This One Sentence

If a UK police officer says "I can smell alcohol" during a traffic stop, this video gives you the one sentence to say — completely legal, completely polite — that protects your driving licence without refusing the breath test. A former defence lawyer explains your rights under the Road Traffic Act 1988 in plain English, for everyday drivers in England and Wales who want to know exactly what to say (and what never to say) at a roadside stop. This is for you if you're a UK driver worried about a drink-drive stop — especially the "morning after" driver who feels completely sober but could still be over the limit at breakfast. You'll learn what happens from the roadside breath test to the evidential test at the station, the legal drink-drive limit, the mistakes that turn a clean stop into a conviction, and the second trap that catches even people who were never over the limit. Covered in this video: What to say when an officer says "I can smell alcohol on you" The one calm sentence that cooperates with the law but protects you Why you cannot legally refuse a roadside breath test (s.6 Road Traffic Act 1988) The drink-drive limit in England & Wales (35 µg breath / 80 mg blood) What really happens at the police station (the evidential test, s.7) The DR10 endorsement and what a conviction actually costs Common drink-driving myths — one pint, mints, "I wasn't even driving" (s.5) Why you should always ask for the free duty solicitor I'm Oliver Bennett — for fifteen years I defended drivers across England and Wales, from the roadside test to the crown court. This isn't legal advice; it's the plain-English version of what I wish every driver in this country knew before that window ever came down. Topics: UK drink driving law, know your rights UK, police stop rights England and Wales, what to say to police, drink drive breath test, Road Traffic Act 1988, driving licence, DR10. ⚠️ General information on the law of England & Wales — not legal advice, and not a way to help anyone drive over the limit. If you're over, the test will find it. Never drink and drive. #DrinkDriving #KnowYourRights #UKLaw #PoliceStop #BreathTest
