Don't you have the right to ask for blood tests where you live?

  I don't know, but I don't like needles, so I probably wouldn't. That's not really the point though.

  Getting a blood test means either going to the police station, or letting a cop stick a needle in you on the side of the road. We should do whatever we can do avoid making innocent people do either one.

    I agree with you, but the OP comment was that you would end up in jail, I think here in Romania if you are caught you will have to submit to blood tests so it is determined precisely your alcohol level in blood, depending on the level you may escape free since you are allowed to have a small level.

You have to go to the station anyway, the Portable BAC they use roadside is inadmissible in court, they give you a more accurate test at the station if you fail roadside. Having a nurse available to take a blood sample instead shouldn't be unreasonable.

  In PA, if you try that, you will have to pay a minimum fine of $500 and have your license suspended for a minimum of 1 year, even if the blood tests show no intoxication. If you have no previous DUI convictions, theses penalties may be worse than being found inaccurately to be over the limit.
