A police officer arrested defendant William O’Driscoll after watching him drive his SUV across the center line of the road — twice — and then fail a number of field tests. Consistent with the implied consent and refusal laws, N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.2 and 39:4-50.4a, the officer read defendant a standard statement designed to inform him of the consequences of refusal and to impel him to provide a sample of his breath.
