Low cost, reliable and everyone can afford it. You’ve got to love the AlcoSense ONE! Entry level yes, but not baseline components. Using new technology like MEMS sensors the AlcoSense ONE beats the competition hands down at a similar price point.

AlcoSense ONE is the lowest priced product EVER to be approved by the tough US Dept of Transport Standard for Hand Held Breathalysers. The US Dot Approval process includes hundreds of accuracy tests at different temperatures, humilities and alcohol concentrations. The US shares the same drink drive limit as the UK, but sadly no UK approval process exists.

Drink driving is preventable if drivers are aware of their alcohol blood level the morning after, before they get behind the wheel.

Using the AlcoSense ONE makes the decision to drive a clear one.

A recent Drink Drive survey undertaken by AlcoSense, revealed that no less than 90% of respondents underestimated the number of units of alcohol in a pint of (6%ABV) lager and in a 250ml glass of wine (13%ABV). Both drinks in fact contain 3.4units. The most popular answer was 2 units, almost half of the correct alcoholic content.

With the current Drink Drive law meaning that there is an effect a 2 unit limit, then people are totally unaware that they are putting themselves, their licences and the lives of others at risk.

Endorsed by Sir Stirling Moss OBE, With its high gloss black design AlcoSense™ ONE measures only 19mm x 30mm x 16.5mm and weighs only 66 grams including batteries. It is powered by 2 x AAA batteries meaning that you can use it anywhere at any time

Facts about drink driving

•Nearly 1 in 5 convicted drink-drivers are caught the morning after drinking.
•51% of people are estimated to drive the morning after a moderate night out completely unaware they are still over the legal drink drive limit!.
•An endorsement for drink driving offence remains on a driving licence for 11 years, so it is 11 years before a convicted driver will have a “clean” licence again

What the experts say:

The AlcoSense concept has full support from the experts. Katie Shephard, Fundraising Manager at BRAKE, the national road safety charity, says:

“AlcoSense’s research demonstrates a shocking lack of knowledge and suggests that there are far too many drivers who are taking a massive risk by driving with alcohol in their bloodstream.  Drivers are often unaware how long it takes to sober up, which is why one in six drinking driving convictions happen the morning after. Drink driving is unacceptable and I’d urge all drivers to never risk their lives, and other road users’ lives, by drink driving.”

Motor racing legend Stirling Moss fully supports AlcoSense™

“I wouldn’t drive the morning after; neither would I let my family without checking ourselves with AlcoSense™.  AlcoSense™ personal breathalysers are discreet and accurate – it is not worth taking the risk of drink driving, so I recommend people keep one handy to check before they drive.”
