Well, from this article, it appears that you only have to be suspected of drunk driving.

The average driver knows if they have been drinking or not. The police also have a pretty good idea if the driver has been drinking.
In our state driving is a privilege. The cop asks you to take the test, you say no, your license is taken on the spot and you still have to go to court and fight the charge.

What's the big deal? In most states, if you refuse a sobriety test, you are convicted of DUI anyway.
If you take the test, at least you can prove that you may be a lousy driver, but you're not under the influence of anything other than your own carelessness.

I looked this up; I am correct re: only post-accident can it be forced.
