Many years ago I was rear ended on a freeway by a 70+ year old guy I suspected was drunk. I asked the cop to test him and he said "do you really want that...because his insurance company will deny coverage for your damage if he was drunk and you will have to go after him personally". I could not believe my ears, that a cop would discourage someone from being tested for DWI. I don't even know if the insurance companies can deny covering an accident if the driver was drunk or if that was just some story he was telling to get out of having to do more work, but either way the old guy got away without being tested since I was more concerned with getting paid for my damage than I was seeing him go to jail. I'm sure today there is much more awareness of the dangers of DWI than there was 30 years ago but it just shows you what went on out there.
