Agreed I tried to steer it back. But in the defense of everyone jumping on the DUI discussion your original query was centired around implied consent
I'll just say that you need to remember protections against self incrimination apply only to criminal matters and not civil...implied consent laws are primarily civil/administrative sanctions... not criminal.
Caveat....admitting to a crime in a civil action can lead to criminal charges. So there are some instances we it's advisable to invoke the 5th in a civil action
