breathalysers
Roadside sobriety testers
Breathalysers is the British spelling of breathalyzers—devices that measure blood alcohol content from a breath sample.
Police use them during traffic stops to determine if drivers are legally impaired: The officer asked him to blow into the breathalyser.
The word blends breath with analyser.
