Your right, the longer the better but it doesn't need to be 5 secs, the sample just needs to collect a deep lung sample. Some people have a lot more lung volume than others.
My question is....why didn't the police try and obtain a blood sample if he wouldn't or couldn't give a proper breath sample? I know there are time issues involved but the more evidence the better.
