"Man arrested after car hits house in Ilford ........He was taken to
hospital but was later discharged and arrested on suspicion of failing
to provide a breath test and failing to stop for police."

How can some one be arrested on suspicion of failing to provide a
breath test??? what did the police say, "excuse me sir, we suspect
you didn't provide us with a breath test, you are under arrest".

Is this comment accurate?
