Did You Fail A Blood Or A Breath Test?

Blood or breath tests are the standard by which many law enforcement officials stand by in determining a person’s sobriety, or lack of it. The short and simple explanation of DUI offenses are as follows: anyone whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures at 0.08% or above, can be arrested for driving under the influence.

There are so many factors that can affect the results of a BAC reading from a blood or breath test. If you have been arrested, please do not wait to seek defense. Your future may depend on it!

Defenses To Blood And Breath Test Results

Just because test results showed that you were above the legal limit, it does not mean that your case is over and that you were guilty. Many factors could negatively affect your test results. If you refuse to take the test, you could also face several penalties.

The penalties for refusing a blood or breath tests are as follows:

  • Fine of at least $375
  • Up to three days in jail
  • Six months and up to three-year license suspension
