i got stopped at a checkpoint one night with 7 people in a bmw740i
i had seven 8% bourbons that night and was only on my learners, he asked me what license i was on and i said restricted, then breathalised me which i failed, he walked away and whilst he did i chewed on a ciggy he came back with another breathaliser and it failed again but he still let me off.
needless to say i didn't stick around to ask why he let me off.

Why do people persist in this fiction that allowable breath alcohol levels are based on licence class? Are y'all really that dim that you never actually read and understood the road code? If you're on a learner licence, shouldn't you have done that recently, so as to pass your written test?

I find it frustrating, inasmuch as it's an urban legend that gets passed around verbally and that people just accept. It has never, to the best of my knowledge, been law. I despair of humanity, sometimes. Collectively, it has the intellectual energy of a not particularly bright slug.

The breath alcohol limit is based on age - whether you're 20, or younger. Not licence class.

If you're 20 or over, your allowable limit is the same regardless of whether you're on a learner or a full licence.

I share your frustration but do understand their logic having had to explain the same thing to the same people every single time the subject comes up. You are talking about driving therefore, their logic says, it must be license related and because it is mainly young people on the learners and restricted levels then it must relate to one or both of those levels.
No It was set based on age and the more mature bodies handling of the alcohol. Medical factors if you like, ok, that may be a bit of an over statement but as close to that as politics will allow, and social factors.

You have a special place in my heart too
