Nobody? There are countries other than the USA. I've never heard of signing away rights in respect of blood as a condition of getting a licence. Is this a real

  If you get in a car crash and are suspected of a DUI, in most states you must submit to a breathalyzer or you are presumed guilty by default. Where you live, is that not the case? Or can you get out of a drunk-driving charge by just refusing to blow?

    Getting a driving licence and being suspected of drunk driving and causing a crash are two different things. Where I'm from your blood would be drawn after you were arrested for a suspected criminal offence, not just because you had a license.

      It is a condition of getting your license that you will consent in that event, at least in the US. [1] It would be interesting if someone who was driving illegally without a license could get away with not consenting to a breathalyzer.

  Yes. If a US cops demands a blood or breath test you basically have no choice if you were driving or you are presumed guilty of a crime and then they pull a warrant for a blood test anyways. The right not to be tested is essencially given up when you sign for your drivers license.

    And despite all of that, every lawyer will tell you to refuse a blood or breath test until they have that warrant and strap you down in the hospital to forcibly pull blood.
