Question: How accurate is a DUI breath test?
Question Detail: I was recently pulled over for a DUI. I took a breath test and i was just over .08%. Is there a chance I can fight this? How do I know if the test was accurate?
Breath tests can be relatively accurate so by inference than can be inaccurate. The accuracy depends on so many variables but one of those variables is the “confidence interval.” If your BAC is exactly 0.080 then it is very possible that it could be comfortable less than that number. However, the toxicology laboratory would testify using the “mean” of both numbers from the BAC test. It is complicated but it’s highly likely your BAC was less than 0.080. Talk to an attorney.
