When can a motorist be charged with drunk driving? What is the procedure for paying the fine in Banglore?

A motorist caught driving under the influence of liquor beyond permissible limit is liable to be charged with the offence of drunken driving. Legal permissible limit is 30mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. Traffic police uses state of art alco-meters (breath analyzers) accepted worldwide to measure the level of alcohol in blood. This is scientifically and legally accepted method all over the world. Our instruments are calibrated once in three months with a probable error of +(-) 5%. Therefore, we do not panelize anyone below 40mg per 100ml of blood even though legal limit is only 30. Anyone driving with alcohol level below a reading of 40 is not, repeat not, liable for prosecution.
However, everyone need not be subjected to measurement. Merely, by bringing the instruments close to mouth and asking name of the person indicates preliminary result whether the person has consumed alcohol are not. If the result is negative, no measurement is required and person is allowed to go. If the result is positive, measurement is done using the disposable straw and reading printed using connected printers. Subsequently, the blackberry generated police notice is given to the motorists. No one can be prosecuted without a computerized print out indicating reading and a blackberry print out of mentioning that reading.

The person will be given a notice, will be sent to the court and the offender will have to pay a fine there.
