Question 6413
If, at an alcohol test checkpoint, a driver exceeds the maximum permitted limit, the officers...
- will take the driver to a medical center to perform a blood test.
- will perform a second test after a minimum of 10 minutes for verification purposes.
- will seal the vehicle and take the driver before the judicial authority.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: will perform a second test after a minimum of 10 minutes for verification purposes.
If your first test result exceeds your maximum limit, officers give you a second breath test to verify it, and at least 10 minutes must pass between the two tests. A blood test at a medical center is done if you request it for verification. Officers may prevent the vehicle from being driven further, but that isn’t automatic, and they take you to court when the circumstances may constitute a criminal offense.
