Do I have to take a breathalyzer test?

By driving on the roads in the state of New Jersey, you are consenting to give a breath sample to do chemical testing for the purposes of determining the presence of alcohol in your body.  If the police officer has reasonable grounds to believe you were driving while intoxicated and you refuse to provide valid breath samples your license will be suspended for a minimum of  7 months—even if you are not intoxicated.
