Something like hit and run should cause some to think there may be a reason for them to be tested within the two hours. That is if you are a reasonable thinker.

Except what if they think you committed a hit and run, but it was someone else? Then they show up at your house and demand a sample. Since you weren't actually involved you've been having a backyard bbq with beers. Now they think you committed a hit and run while drunk.
It's not as farfetched as it seems, imo. It's not like they're operating a CSI style lab for every property damage call. And I know for a fact there is another vehicle of the same type/color as mine with the same first three letters on the license plate. If that car was involved in a hit and run near my house I think it's likely I get a call (or now, a forced entry to my home!)
