Whenever someone is stopped for suspicion of DUI, they will typically be offered a field sobriety test, also known as FSTs, and the preliminary breath test, also known as the PBT. However, as an Alexandria DUI attorney will tell you, it is important to know that these tests are voluntary and that you cannot be compelled to perform them. If you refuse these tests in Alexandria, you incur no additional charges, and your refusal of the test cannot be used against you. With that said, if you are arrested for suspicion of DUI, you will then be read the implied present statute, which may trigger your requirement to either take a breath test or have an additional charge.
