Question 7790
At a breath alcohol test, a driver's result is above the maximum permitted level. Is the driver required to take a second test?
- No, the driver will be taken to a medical center to have a test performed.
- Yes, for confirmation purposes.
- Only if the driver shows clear signs of having consumed alcohol.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, for confirmation purposes.
Yes. If the first test exceeds your maximum permitted level, the officer gives you a second breath test using a similar procedure to verify the result. No symptoms are needed. At least 10 minutes must pass between the two tests, and you can request a test at a medical facility if you want to verify the result.
