Police Chiefs are asking for ability to disqualify drunk or drugged drivers 'at the roadside".

I'm presuming 'at the roadside' would actually mean after an evidential test at a Police Station.

What's the thoughts of the PH community? Good, bad, open to abuse / wrongful disqualification?
Challenges and 'Compo claims' after 'Conviction' ?

(Now on a similar subject, for mobile phone use whilst driving, I'd like to see either the car or phone conviscated at at the roadside. If you can't be trusted to separate driving and phone use one of the options should be removed. Which do you want to keep the car or phone?)
