2014(Robertson v. Zolin (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 147, 151 ; Davenport, supra, 6 Cal.App.4th at pp. 141-143.) Although Zehnder opined that breath testing in general had a margin of error of 20 percent “because of the variables involved in breath testing and calibrating an instrument,” he did not identify the variables involved in breath testing and calibrating an instrument, and he did not explain how any such variables resulted in a 20 percent margin of error in Alcotest 7410 Plus devices.

1992Since the court's ruling, however, appellate court decisions have *664 established that the first two bases are erroneous as a matter of law. ( Davenport v.

2024For example, all 50 States have adopted implied consent laws that require motorists, as a 14 condition of operating a motor vehicle within the State, to consent to BAC testing if they are arrested or otherwise detained on suspicion of a drunk- driving offense. [Citation.] Such laws impose significant consequences when a motorist withdraws consent; typically the motorist’s driver’s license is immediately suspended or revoked, and most States allow the motorist’s refusal to take a BAC test to be used as evidence against him in a subsequent criminal prosecution.”7 ( McNeely, supra, 569 U.S. at pp
