During a DUI stop, the officer who arrested you may have asked you to take
a breathalyzer test or field sobriety test. People who are accused of
driving drunk are not legally required to submit to a breathalyzer test.
Although you cannot be forced to take the test, refusing to do so can have
consequences. A person who refuses a breathalyzer test when they are suspected
of driving under the influence may face harsher legal penalties in the
event of a conviction.
