in DUI Process

More Faulty OVI Breath Test Assumptions One of the faulty assumptions underlying OVI evidential breath testing is the assumption that the tests are measuring the ability of alcohol to impair your brain. They do not. The breath test for OVI does not care how, or even if, the alcohol is impairing your brain only that it is in your breath via your lungs via your blood.
