In a major promotion to help promote safer driving, we are delighted that Alcosense Personal Breathalysers, a company owned by BTCC racer Hunter Abbott, are giving away 7500 single use breathalysers at Knockhill this weekend.
For over a decade, Alcosense have been a leading manufacturer of a whole range of breathalysers and this weekend, their single use version will be handed out with a special 20% promotional offer available for purchases until the end of August.
Stuart Gray, Director of Events and Marketing said, “ We are delighted to be working with Hunter and Alcosense, in our opinion, they save lives and help us all to be more responsible before we get behind the wheel. The single use breathalysers given away retail for £3 so to have £22,500 of product to giveaway can only be a good thing for road safety in Scotland.”
The story of how Alcosense started is remarkable. Back in 2005 Hunter Abbott, managing director of AlcoSense, had a wake up call. “I was at a friend’s wedding and James and I had been drinking together at the reception, we were definitely merry but I wouldn’t say we were drunk.
“The following morning we left the hotel at about noon, James went his way and I went mine. I got home safe and sound but later that evening James called. He’d been stopped by the Police for speeding, got breathalysed and failed. All of a sudden I realised that James and I had been matching our drinks, I too was probably over the limit when I was driving home from the wedding, completely unaware that I was.
“James lost his licence for 12 months, and then shortly after he lost his job as a result. The problem was that there was no way of telling when the alcohol had cleared your system, and because everyone’s different you can’t even calculate it.”
After 2 years of research and development AlcoSense was launched in September 2007 and since then, AlcoSense has stopped over 50% of it’s customers from unintentionally drink driving the morning after, saving countless lives in the process.
Hunter will also be here this weekend to race his Power Maxed Racing Chevrolet Cruze after the team had a monumental task of repairing the car following a large crash at Snetterton last time out.
