Drink-drive: broken jaw, lager and khat ingestion.
The report describes an examination of a man concerning an offence under The Road Traffic Act 1988. This was undertaken for two reasons, firstly to assess whether the suspect's alleged facial and jaw injuries prevented him from using the breathalyser and secondly to determine whether the man's ability to drive a motor vehicle was impaired. He admitted to drinking lager and chewing khat. The outcome in the magistrate's court is described. The use and effects of khat is reviewed.
