The most accurate method to determine a person's blood alcohol level is through:
- field sobriety tests.
- a preliminary breath test.
- an evidential breath test.
- a blood test.
- a urine test.
Choose the BEST answer. If a hospital performs an analysis of a person's blood to determine the amount alcohol using serum or plasma, then:
- the test results are accurate.
- the test results are more accurate than a breath test.
- the test results are likely higher that a whole blood analysis.

- the test results are not admissible because of HIPAA rules.
If a police officer places a person under arrest for drunk driving and requires the driver to submit to a breath test at the police station, then:
- the driver can refuse the test and demand a blood test.
- the driver will lose driving privileges for one year and six points will be added to the license if the driver refuses.
- the driver may demand that an attorney be present during the breath testing process.
- the driver will face additional criminal penalties if the driver fails to submit to the breath test.
- the driver will lose his or her right to drive immediately.
Under Michigan law, the strong odor of intoxicants on a driver's breath means:
- that the driver has consumed alcohol, but without more, the officer cannot do anything about it.
- the officer has adequate cause to request that the driver perform field sobriety tests.
- the officer may force the driver to perform field sobriety tests.
- the officer can require the driver to submit to a PBT.
- the officer has adequate cause to arrest the driver of the motor vehicle.
- that the driver has been drinking and driving and has broken the law.
A police officer is trained to describe the odor of intoxicants as "weak, moderate, or strong." The difference between these three means:
- that the driver has consumed less if the odor is weak and more if it is strong.
- that the driver has drank beer if the odor is weak and hard liquor if it is strong.
- that the driver has drank too much if the odor is strong.
- that the driver is probably not intoxicated if the odor is weak.
- that the driver has possibly consumed alcoholic beverages prior to personal contact with the officer.
- that the driver is drunk.
Michigan's drunk driving statute states that if a person is arrested for drunk driving and submits to the officer's chemical test, the driver has the right to an independent test at his or her own expense. This means:
- that the driver may refuse the officer's test and demand a blood test.
- that if the driver doesn't say anything, he or she does not have to take the test.
- that the driver may have a local hospital perform a blood test if the driver first submits to the officer's chemical test.
- that if the officer fails to read Miranda rights, nothing can be used against the motorist.
If an officer refuses to permit a Michigan motorist the right to an independent chemical test even though the driver submitted to the officer's requested test, the remedy is:
- that the jury will be told that the officer violated the driver's rights.
- that the police administered tests will be suppressed because the driver was not allowed to obtain exculpatory evidence.
- that the case will be dismissed because the driver was not allowed to obtain exculpatory evidence.
- that the officer will be disciplined.
