When law enforcement stops a motorist suspected of driving while intoxicated, they frequently ask the driver to take a breathalyzer test, which measures the alcohol content in the driver's breath to determine their blood alcohol concentration. If the driver consents to the test and the result shows a blood alcohol level exceeding the legal limit, this can lead to charges of driving under the influence. Additionally, in several states, refusing to take a breathalyzer test is considered a criminal offense. The statements above most strongly support which of the following conclusions?

Answer Choices

In many states, a failed breathalyzer test leads to less severe penalties than refusing the test.
