Highlight

Department did not err in revoking defendant’s drivers license under N.D.C.C. § 39-20-14 following defendant’s refusal of on-site breath test.

A party who refuses a screening or chemical test cannot challenge the unperformed tests’ compliance with statutory requirements.

We cannot logically construe the statutes to require the State to provide foundational evidence for a test which was refuse, thus making the foundational evidence irrelevant.
