Highlight

Absent actual prejudice, violation of the statutory right to consult with counsel before submitting to an Intoxilyzer test is properly challenged by a motion to suppress the results of the test, rather than a motion to dismiss the charge.
A defendant must be provided a reasonable opportunity to make long distance telephone calls to consult with an attorney, if the defendant pays for the call and it does not interfere with valid testing.
