  • “Good cause generally means a substantial reason amounting in law to a legal excuse for failing to perform an act required by law.”
  • dismissal of criminal DUI charges was appropriate remedy for arresting officers’ violations of drivers’ statutory rights to requested blood tests under former implied consent statute
  • ’’When the arresting officer initially invokes the implied consent law and . . . denies the driver’s request for a blood test, the driver is deprived of his right to establish non-intoxication by a highly reliable form of chemical testing.”
  • similarly construing provisions of predecessor former implied consent statute
