The laws of some states allow motorists to consult with an attorney prior to deciding whether to submit to DUI testing. But these states usually give drivers a limited amount of time to do so. For instance, some states give drivers 30 minutes from the time of the arrest to contact an attorney. After the 30 minutes has passed, the officer is going forward with testing whether or not the driver has been able to talk to a lawyer.
The laws of most states, however, don’t give motorists the chance to speak with an attorney before deciding whether to comply with DUI testing.
