Answer: A breath-test device installed in the vehicle that prevents it from starting if the driver's BAC exceeds a preset limit, required after DUI convictions

When can a Florida law enforcement officer legally require a blood test (rather than a breath test) for DUI?

Florida officers can require a blood test when the driver is unconscious, hospitalized, or when breath testing is not possible.
