I would presume a few of you reading this would have had a time when you were unsure after a heavy night out, and having to drive the next morning were still within the legal drink drive limit. By purchasing the Alco-sense Pro it can help to put them nagging doubts or costly error of judgement to rest.  This product is a potential licence saver, and if you drive for a living also your job.

As the name states the AlsoSense Pro uses a 121mm Professional Fuel Cell sensor, that is identical to the ones used in some UK police breathalysers, helping to provide a greater level of accuracy breath test. On first using the AlsoSense Pro, it is very easy to set up and intuitive to use, with a bright 1.8. inch TFT screen. This provides clear and detailed readings of your alcohol level in your choice of breath (mg/L or µg/100mL) or blood (%BAC or ‰BAC) readings.

When providing a sample breath test there is no need to be concerned if you are blowing into the machine correctly, as it come with a very useful feature called Blowcoach. This shows you precisely how hard to blow into the tube to gain an accurate breath sample, and if you manage to do it incorrectly, it uses advanced sensors to tell where you went wrong and how to correct it.
  
If you do blow close to or over the legal limit, you will be provided with an onscreen warning that you should not drive. Another clever feature is that instead of having no idea when you will be able to drive, AlcoSense Pro calculates how long it will take until you are fit to be behind the wheel again. A useful addition is you can also set an alarm reminder when to take another breath test.

Some of the other Features include a database of every country and its blood-breath ratio, so this breathalyser can be used anywhere in the world, which make this a essential piece of kit to take with you if going away on holiday etc, where we can sometimes have a extra drink or two.

The device feels just the right size and weight which makes it easy to take it anywhere. The AlcoSense Pro is a very capabable device with some good features and is packed with batteries and a supply of blow tubes so is ready to use straight from the box.

The AlcoSense Pro costs £149.99 and is available from www.alcosense.co.uk and Halfords stores nationwide
