If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident (as a driver), breath sample should be mandatory.

Either way, I have abosolutely 0% sympathy for drunk drivers or people who refuse to provide a breathalyzer because in my mind that shows you're guilty. I lost a gf on December 4, 2006 to a drunk driver. I know what it feels like to go through this.

Not that I am disagreeing, but I don't think you can force someone to take a breathalyser. I could be wrong, but I believe you have to blow continuously and evenly for 7-10 seconds. If someone refuses you can't physically force them do it and still make it safe.
