I've done two breath tests and got different results.
This is expected. The first test is the most accurate, if you perform a second
test within a few minutes of the first test the breath alcohol levels in your
lungs may not have stabilised after the first test, causing the second test to
give you a different reading. If you have recently drunk alcohol, your blood
alcohol level can also change quickly over the course of a few minutes. This
is why you should only use the breathalyser 90 minutes after drinking or
ideally, the morning after. If you test two different breathalysers back to
back you will also expect slightly different readings for the same reason.
This is why you cannot use one breathalyser to test the accuracy of another,
it can only be done using Breath Alcohol Simulators. To give you an
example, UK law allows for up to 15% difference on sequential test results
taken by the Police.
