But if a cop says you’re doing a sobriety test, you don’t have a choice.
Not correct. Field sobriety tests are ‘voluntary’ in all states in the US, although refusing to take one may be used as evidence against you in a trial, depending on the state. Likewise, you can refuse breathalyzer tests, although that may carry significant civil penalties.
Did you even read my comment. I literally said refusing to do a test gets your license suspended for a year in most states. If you don’t do the sobriety test, the cop will most certainly ask you to do a chemical test, breath or blood, and refusing will get you a suspension.
