Under Nevada's Implied Consent Law, an officer suspecting DUI may ask you to submit to which type of test?
-
A.
Field sobriety only
-
B.
Reflex, vision, or hearing
-
C.
Blood, breath, or urine Correct
-
D.
Breathalyzer only
The answer is "Blood, breath, or urine"
Implied Consent means that, by driving on Nevada roads, you have agreed to chemical testing when an officer suspects impairment. The manual specifies three types of chemical tests the officer may direct: blood, breath, or urine.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Field sobriety only
Field sobriety exercises are roadside coordination tests, not the chemical tests the Implied Consent Law addresses. Comes from the walk-and-turn and one-leg-stand routines featured in TV traffic stops, which many drivers picture first when they hear 'the DUI test.'
B. Reflex, vision, or hearing
These are driver-fitness medical exams, not the chemical tests governed by Implied Consent. Draws on the vision and reflex screens applicants complete at the DMV counter to qualify for a license, which is the 'DMV test' most drivers remember.
D. Breathalyzer only
The manual lists blood and urine as options in addition to breath. This answer names only breath and drops the blood and urine tests the manual also lists.
