Uhhmmm...
Under Colorado State Law a roadside test is voluntary (most people don't know that) but refusal to submit to a breath or blood test is an automatic one year suspension of your license. It only makes sense to refuse the BAC test if it's your second or third offense and you're facing that penalty and a whole lot more.
My uncle is a lawyer and his son got a DUI (in the state of Iowa.) He said, flat out, there's not much a lawyer can do in cases like this. If there's alcohol on your breath you will be asked to test. If you test over a .05 you will be charged. Once charged, you're pretty much facing an iron clad, mandatory sentencing ordeal.
By the way, $1500 is a low estimate. I've heard the average DUI will cost you about $10,000 by the time you finish paying off the SR-22 insurance along with everything else.
