Default To blow or not to blow...

I'm not in the US. But I'd have to say, blow.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you wouldn't be
so ignorant, foolhardy, self absorbed, and dangerous as to get in the
drivers seat when you're anywhere near, let alone over the limit
anyway. So either the roadside breath test will return a negative, or
there's something wrong with it and the evidenciary breath/blood test
back at the station/hospital will clear up the misunderstanding [I'm
assuming that the states are similar to NZ in that a roadside test is
just a screening test, and for evidence a controlled test must be made
on special equipment, or blood test taken].

In my opinion. 12 hours bottle to throttle, I don't care if it's got
wheels or wings, they'll both kill you given the chance, or worse,
somebody else. If you drinking, the only driving you should be doing
is the porcelain taxi variety.
