Does passenger in vehicle have to do a blood test?
Does a passenger in a vehicle involved in an accident have to submit to a Blood Alcohol Test at hospital? If not, but blood is taken anyway and hospital personnel know the results, is this information passed on to law enforcement?

I do not see how your information is relevant to the drunk driver. I would also state that I do not know of any law that allows your blood to be taken as a passenger for alcohol purposes. You only have a problem if you're taken to court.

What an interesting question. Kind of negates the Designated Driver routine. There is a search and seizure problem here for sure. I don't know what would happen to a blood sample; however, if charges are brought againt the passenger, I suspect that a Motion to Quash would be warranted. Why don't you consult an attorney now??
