Question 3937
At a breath-alcohol check, how many tests can they perform on you?
- The first is an exhaled-air breathalyzer test, and you may request a second test, for verification, once 10 minutes have passed.
- Two tests, to be chosen between an exhaled-air breathalyzer test or a blood test.
- A single test with the breathalyzer.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The first is an exhaled-air breathalyzer test, and you may request a second test, for verification, once 10 minutes have passed.
The first test involves blowing into a breathalyzer. If the result exceeds your limit, or if it does not but you show clear symptoms, the officer gives you a second breath test to verify the result, and you have the right to check that at least 10 minutes pass between the two. A blood test does not replace the breathalyzer test; you may request one afterward to verify the result.
