Within what window should a reasonable suspicion alcohol test be given after the observations are made?
- A.Within 2 hours if possible, and attempts stop after 8 hours, with the timing documented
- B.There is no window for alcohol
- C.Within one week
- D.Within 30 days
Correct answer
A. Within 2 hours if possible, and attempts stop after 8 hours, with the timing documented
Why
Alcohol leaves the body steadily, so the rule pushes for a test within 2 hours of the decision and ends attempts at 8 hours. A reasonable suspicion drug test has a longer outer limit of 32 hours from the observations.
