If I am pulled over for DWI, should I take a breathalyzer?
Be wary of advice that says “never” or “always” submit to this test. There are numerous factors to consider when determining if a client should take a breathalyzer test or refuse the test. The important questions include:
Whether you have a prior conviction for driving while intoxicated
How many alcoholic beverages you’ve consumed
Whether there was an accident
Whether anyone was injured in an accident
When the last alcoholic drink was consumed
The county where you were arrested
All of these factors must be considered before a DWI lawyer can give advice about taking a breathalyzer test.
