If you are stopped: SIX SIMPLE RULES

5. When asked to perform a preliminary roadside breath test, politely say, “I AM REFUSING TO SUBMIT TO A PBT ON THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY.”

 
The penalty for a PBT refusal in a non-commercial vehicle is a fine of $100-$200. Take the ticket because the PBT can be used against you, and it is not accurate. (You can also, learn more about the different types of chemical test refusals.)
