When other countries (notably Europe) use roadside ‘Breathalyzer’ test machines? It seems a high-functioning drunk could get away with DUI in the US, when they wouldn’t in France or the UK?
In: Other
The US also breathalyzes. the field sobriety test can be used if you are not over the legal blood-alcohol limit, but there is reason to believe that you are too impaired to drive. So you can pass a breathalyzer but still be tested to see if you’re able to safely drive.
I might be wrong but I think if you are over the limit and also fail the field sobriety test, you get two separate infractions, meaning there are situations where you can fail one but not the other and end up with one infraction.
