Chemical Tests for DWI / DUI
40+ Years of Experience
Always a Free Initial Consultation
North Carolina’s “implied consent” law means that if a motorist is lawfully
arrested for driving while impaired (DWI, also commonly referred to as DUI,
driving under the influence), he or she agrees to submit to a chemical test
designed to measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or drug content in the
person’s blood. If you do not submit to chemical testing when a police officer
asks you to, you may lose your driving privileges for a year or longer.
The Results Of A Blood Alcohol Content
Test (BAC) May Bring DUI Charges
A defense lawyer on your side may challenge the admissibility of BAC test results if the police did not inform you of your rights and
consequences of refusal according to the implied consent laws. BAC tests in North Carolina and elsewhere will normally be one of two
types, as described below.
The Two Types Of Chemical Tests
It’s Essential that You Have a Time-
Tested Attorney On Your Side

A blood test: An arresting office might ask you to
submit to a blood test, most likely at the police station
or at a hospital. If you are unconscious, it may be
administered if the police obtain a search warrant first.
A breath test: This may be administered with a portable device known as a
breathalzyer (1) after you were stopped at a checkpoint, (2) after you were
stopped and lawfully arrested on suspicion of driving drunk or (3) after an
auto accident in which someone was hurt or killed.
The results of a breath test carry very high stakes, since a particular blood
alcohol level may be sufficient for a DUI conviction, even if you did not
otherwise demonstrate that you were or might be driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
