The BACtrack S80 is an extremely accurate device and uses the same technology as police breathalyzers. There have been multiple 3rd party tests done to prove this. That said, it should not be used to give you a pass to drive intoxicated. Intoxication begins with the first drink. You can be pulled over and arrested if you blow a 0.02% - it's a police officer's job to do this if you are driving erratically. This device is meant to inform you of how alcohol affects your body--and to ensure you are at 0.00% before you get behind the wheel. If you get pulled over, it's already too late.

It has a very high rating for being accurate but I will always make sure I'm under to be safe.

I believe this unit is AS ACCURATE as the ones the police use, if not MORE SO!

I live in Connecticut and every single night I go to work I drive pass the police and never been pulled over for my lights so I would say they are legal but I can't be sure of the requiment where u live. Plus thus lights are not blinding at all, they are brighter than the stock light but soft to the eyes at night.

I have honestly not tried to find the upper range but would expect it to identify when someone has surpassed at least twice the legal limit (in VA the legal limit is .08).

Yes, the BACtrack Mobile Smartphone Breathalyzer needs to be calibrated every 12 months.

I was concerned about this as well. When I received the bar it was .058 not .050.

The one I received was pretty close about 0.2 if I remember correctly. It is not really an issue though as it comes with chemicals to mix calibration solutions. You just need to mix it with distilled water.

Sorry, we are not the right party to answer this question. Your state DMV site may have more relevant information on this. - Crazyondigital

Yes, you for sure can! If there is any alcohol in it at all it will show up! Good luck! I hope for your sake and his he is not!

Yes, it is police grade accurate and they say calibrate it 6 months to a year. I'm going to do it after a year and I used it a lot. This one is awesome, and very accurate with BAC and time until sober

I also purchased a Laser Jammer, this will give no reading back to the Police laser unit just displays 3 little dashes on the laser unit in the police car. They have no number to reference.

I live in Texas, I commute to work daily on my bike during the night and go through 3 towns on my commute. I pass police in all 3 towns on highways and fm roads and I have never had anyone stop me. In my experience, they know you have it to increase visibility and they are not going to mess with you.

I would call them direct to confirm. I think it depends on how old your opener is. Sorry I could not be more help.

I have used it on my daughter and usually she is .08 or higher, and she has been at 0.00. There hasn't been any in betweens because she's usually really drunk or not drinking. It's been very accurate so far.

www.q3i.com/support I dont know what is on this site but it is what was recommended in the box. The unit will stay calib. for over 200 tests however. I used to calibrate a lesser version of tester, and this one is much more stable. I do not expect to have any problem for years. Just check that the batteries dont go bad and leak. Cal is prob. expensive. there is a way to set up a standard vapor stream at .1 BAC just to check it yourself, but I have not had to question this yet as I dont use often. contact me at drj@bodymindspirit.ws and I'll keep you in mind when I do this procedure. www.q3i.com/support I dont know what is on this site but it is what was recommended in the box.

Pray. If the lord wants you to know your BAC he will make it work again. Praise the lord ! .....No you just got a defective one.

The answer to your question also varies. If the laser or radar can't read your speed, then your detector may not be able to detect it either. I have driven on rural roads, highways, hill country and where I live and drive, mostly Houston is flat. I have had this detector for over a year and it has never failed me so far. You won't be disappointed. I have always been alerted much before I am able to see the cop, giving me ample time to slow down.

The BACtrack S80 will display a 0.00 reading if the user takes a full breath sample and there is no alcohol present in his system. If you have any questions about how to use this device, please consult your owner's manual or contact us at support@bactrack.com.
