Melbourne, Australia – November 24th, 2011

Andatech features on Channel 7 news segment discussing the myths and dangers of drink driving. The segment was aired on the 22nd of November exploring the many myths when it comes to drinking alcohol and then being safe enough to drive.

Nick Mccallum, a Channel 7 News reporter explained “Last weekend police caught 280 drinking drivers, as the party starts they bust the urban myths. Coffee, cold showers, Kool Mints will not reduce blood alcohol levels.”

Andatech features in the Channel 7 news segment to help explain the importance of using a breathalyser before you drive and more importantly using an Australian Standard breathalyser to ensure its accuracy. Andatech's breathalyser division manager, Andrew Smith was interviewed and said “According to the Australian Standard they have to be within 10% of your breath alcohol concentration.”
Geoff Munro from the Australian Drug Foundation said in the news piece “There is nothing apart from time that allows the body to eliminate alcohol.” This further supported the main message that it is important it is to make sure no risk is involved when getting behind the wheel after you have been drinking.

The news segment also includes a story of a young man named Daniel who got behind the wheel in 2003 whilst drunk. Daniel crashed the car, killing his friend. He spent 4 years in jail as a punishment but said “living with what i've done is by far the hardest thing”.
Andrew Smith explained that Andatech wants to be there to help Australians arrive home safe “Andatech continues to strive to keep Australians safe and healthy. As the Christmas period is upon us, the message of “Don't risk it” with the help of Channel 7 News has been made more clear.
