There are several ways to challenge your blood alcohol test results after your DUI arrest in Clarkstown, New York. When properly investigated by a good DUI lawyer, he/she can question the blood alcohol test results and could provide a legal defense against the test results. The DUI lawyer can show that there was a problem with the machine and it could often be shown that the test results are not reliable and that errors and/or mistakes could have happened. Therefore, there could be a reasonable doubt that may exist to the accuracy of the test results in your DUI case.

Blood alcohol tests could also be challenged through the rising blood alcohol defense. You have to remember that the blood alcohol test is used to determine your blood alcohol content at the time of the driving and not after the driving. Also, it is generally difficult for the prosecution to prove that the testing equipment is infallible.
