Breath And Blood Tests

Ventura DUI – Breath & Blood Tests

When you get stopped and/or arrested for a DUI, you must ultimately provide a breath or a blood test. If you refuse to submit to a breath or a blood test after a lawful DUI arrest, there are very serious license issues that require special attention.

PAS Test – Preliminary Alcohol Screening

In most Ventura DUI cases, the officer will attempt to get you to submit to a breath test even before you have been arrested. If you are over 21 and not on probation for a DUI, any breath test that is prior to a DUI arrest is 100% voluntary.

Chemical Test – Evidential Breath or Blood Test

After a DUI arrest, one of the conditions of having a driver's license in California is that you agree to submit to a chemical test of your breath or blood. There are very strict procedures that must be followed with respect to these breath and blood tests, which must be performed by individuals with the appropriate qualifications.
