If You’ve Said No to a Breathalyzer
When you are pulled over for drunken driving, you are asked to take a Breathalyzer or Intoxilyzer breath test. The test proves to be a real Catch-22 because no matter what you decide — to take the test (and fail) or to refuse it — you risk losing your driving license. If you might be intoxicated (have at least .08 percent alcohol in your blood), you may wish to consider refusing to give either a breath and/or blood test. While the penalty for refusing a breath and/or blood test can be 180 days for a first offense, it may be advantageous for the defense and make the case more difficult for the State to prove. Contact your Sally Goodman today your Dallas breath test refusal lawyer to discuss further.
If you are acquitted of DWI/DUI, you may have the license suspension for the breath and/or blood test refusal removed from your driving record.
