When the alcohol level in exhaled breath is above the permitted limit, the officer...

  1. will subject the person to a second test using a procedure similar to the one used in the first.
  2. will take the person to a hospital to have a urine test performed.
  3. may not subject the person to another test.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: will subject the person to a second test using a procedure similar to the one used in the first.

If the first test exceeds your maximum permitted alcohol level, the officer gives you a second breath test using a similar procedure, and at least 10 minutes must pass between the two. You are taken to the hospital for a confirmation test if you request one.
