Can I be required to submit to DUI testing if I was only pulled over for a traffic infraction or an equipment malfunction?
Yes. If, by virtue of legally stopping you, an officer then has reason to believe you have been drinking and driving you can be asked to do a field sobriety test and possibly a breath test. This generally happens when the officer become suspicious of your state of impairment after smelling alcohol, seeing bloodshot eyes, garbled speech, difficulty finding your license or following commands.
