They explore the three primary types of chemical tests: blood, urine, and breath tests, highlighting the differences between these tests and standardized field sobriety tests. Shane explains how breath tests are conducted at police stations and the implications of testing above the legal limit of 0.08, which can lead to a presumption of impairment.
