It wasn't an RBT. It was for a breath test after an accident.

I don't know about Victoria, but most jurisdictions make it illegal to refuse a breath test. Doesn't matter if you are sober or not. You try refusing an RBT and see whether they let you off.

Sorry, my mistake in stating RBT, it was a compulsory breath test that wasn't enforced by the police.

even more reason to take a breath test..

The father of the 15-year-old cyclist injured in the crash confirmed to the Herald Sun that he was still waiting to hear from the Premier and his wife more than four years later.
The boy was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital, where he underwent surgery to stem internal bleeding, also suffering a punctured lung, broken ribs and cuts.

Vic police nothing surprises me there.. Angry

I was really really sneaky, cods. I secretly crept on and evasively read the link in the opening post. Nasty of creepy me, I know.
