My lad crashed his bike back in September and the hospital took blood samples to test for alcohol (he had had a drink). We didn't hear anything back and so assumed they had come back as fine. However, he has recently had a call from the police to say that the results haven't come in yet.

Is there a time limit on these things??? Surely you can't allow someone to hang around for months without letting them know.

It seems as though they have six months - I actually thought it was longer. Definitely an expert but if the only delay in charging him is the blood test results - they may be able to extend it but I'm not sure on that.
