I am confused. every paddock I have ever been in, I always saw the drivers "blowing up the balloon", as they say before they get past the paddock gate.

It was very dangerous to blow the breathalyzer during Covid and for 2 years after. PA just started it up again a few months ago

They’ve been using “breath strips” since Covid hit. They’re not as accurate as a breathalyzer but gets the job done.

Random tests and only 2 or 3 drivers a night, and the paddock judge controls that
