With respect to your certificate, I was wondering what the best course of
action would be if you had imbibed a couple of cocktails and you were
pulled over and suspected of DUI.


In California a failure to blow results in an instant suspension of
your driver's license. Then law enforcement may arrest you and can
take a blood sample without your concent.

In Massachusetts, refusing a breathalyzer is an automatic 180 day
suspension.

You cannot apply foir a hardship license (to and from work only) when it's
pulled for refusing the test. One common condition of bail for a DUI arrest
is weekly breath tests. How you get to and from the test is your problem.
Tough nuts if it's not on a bus line, cuz you can't drive.

Another interesting fact I learned is that (in Massachusetts) you are under
no obligation to take a field sobriety test.
