***FYI....Asking to consult a lawyer is a breath test refusal!***
Hi,
Did you know that? I sure didn't ...aheheheh
Most people believe that since they are being asked a question (i.e. “Will you take a breath test?”) that they have a legal right to talk to a lawyer before answering the question. Unfortunately that is not the case.
In fact, insistence on speaking to an attorney before making the decision will lead the officer to mark on the DIC paperwork that you refused to take a breath test. This legal analysis was upheld in Texas Dept. of Public Safety v. Raffaelli, 905 S.W.2d. 773:

Be safe out there and have fun!
