Motorist with pulmonary disease fights breathalyser testing

Trinidad and Tobago's Newsday : newsday.co.tt :: "Three weeks ago, Sean Bridgelal was charged for failing to submit to the breathalyser testing without reasonable excuse.

However, defence attorney Colin Selvon is arguing that Bridgelal was wrongfully charged, as he was medically incapable of taking the test as required.

Selvon raised this argument yesterday morning in the Port-of-Spain Sixth Magistrates’ Court. He disclosed a medical certificate to the State which indicated that his client suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which diminished his lung capacity. Bridgelal was therefore unable to medically take the test as required by the police."
