Highlight
An individual who asks to consult with an attorney before deciding to take a chemical test must be given a reasonable opportunity to do so if it does not materially interfere with the administration of the test.
An individual given a telephone and a telephone book approximately eighteen minutes before the two-hour period for administering a chemical test expired had a reasonable opportunity to contact an attorney when the individual delayed the DUI investigation and called a friend rather than an attorney.
