The driver, who was under arrest for driving under the influence (DUI), refused to take the breath test designated by the arresting officer, insisting instead he would only take a blood test. Refusing to take the test designated by the arresting officer is tantamount to a refusal to submit to chemical testing, even though a driver is entitled to request an independent test after submitting to the test designated by the officer.
