Hi People,
I hope that I am posting in the correct page.
I want to share my experience with the CDT test process.
I was convicted of drink driving in 2016 and received a 22 month ban (blew 85) caught driving at night without lights. no accident or injures to anyone.
I did a course to knock 4 months off my ban.
I drank heavy every day then and feel very lucky that no one got hurt.
When I took my first CDT test I did not drink for 7 weeks and received a one year licence. No word of why just given a years licence.
I just had my second test a couple of weeks ago and I don't drink nearly as much, 4 beers on a weekend sometimes none. I have new friends that don't drink much and this time around I had not drunk for 4 weeks before the test, however before that I was at a party and drunk low alcohol beer and a couple of shots ( I added this up honestly as 7.1 units and said that at the medical)
I did receive my CDT results this time and it was 0.5% and was given a 5 year licence with a friendly warning to keep it that way.
My point is my friends if you are honest and serious about getting your licence back stop drinking and you all be fine.
I didn't take any special/magic vitamins or herbal teas. I just stopped drinking.
I write this to give hope and peace of mind to those of you that are worried about your test results.
