If stopped on suspicion of drunk driving, is it better to submit to a DUI test or refuse? It is a good question. Obviously the results of a DUI test can be used as evidence against you, so it is important to know what is best - submit or refuse?
First, you need to know if you have have the right to refuse a DUI test.
A friend told me the other day that he was afraid to even “sniff a cork” before getting behind the wheel of his car.
He was referring to the increasing frequency of DUI checks by police. He was exaggerating of course but it is true that your chances of being stopped by police on suspicion of driving under the influence are increasing every day.
The only way to be absolutely sure that you will never be charged with DUI is to never drive after having had even one drink.
But if you are like most people it may happen that you decide to drive after drinking a very moderate amount of alcohol. If you do, and you are stopped by police, there are some measures you can take to minimize the risk of being charged and convicted of drunk driving.
