Id take the sobriety test, not wanting to be bothered being taken down to the station, possibly having my car towed and impounded, innocent or guilty you end up paying for that part. If you refuse it's just about as bad a charge as an impaired charge. The other part is you cause an officer to be taken off the street to to do that when he could be catching real impaired drivers, just so you can protest and make a point. They don't make you walk the line and count backwards these days so your balance shouldn't be an issue, you blow into a portable breathalizer, if your under the limit away you go, if your over they take you down to the station.
