CODE SECTION  12/03/01
  
  40-5-55.
 
(a) The State of Georgia considers that any person who drives or is
  in actual physical control of any moving vehicle in violation of any
  provision of Code Section 40-6-391 constitutes a direct and
  immediate threat to the welfare and safety of the general public.
  Therefore, any person who operates a motor vehicle upon the highways
  or elsewhere throughout this state shall be deemed to have given
  consent, subject to Code Section 40-6-392, to a chemical test or
  tests of his or her blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substances
  for the purpose of determining the presence of alcohol or any other
  drug, if arrested for any offense arising out of acts alleged to
  have been committed in violation of Code Section 40-6-391 or if such
  person is involved in any traffic accident resulting in serious
  injuries or fatalities.  The test or tests shall be administered at
  the request of a law enforcement officer having reasonable grounds
  to believe that the person has been driving or was in actual
  physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highways or
  elsewhere throughout this state in violation of Code Section
  40-6-391.  The test or tests shall be administered as soon as
  possible to any person who operates a motor vehicle upon the
  highways or elsewhere throughout this state who is involved in any
  traffic accident resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.
  Subject to Code Section 40-6-392, the requesting law enforcement
  officer shall designate which of the test or tests shall be
  administered, provided a blood test with drug screen may be
  administered to any person operating a motor vehicle involved in a
  traffic accident resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.
  
  (b) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or otherwise in a condition
  rendering such person incapable of refusal shall be deemed not to
  have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection (a) of this Code
  section, and the test or tests may be administered, subject to Code
  Section 40-6-392.
 (c) As used in this Code section, the term “traffic accident
  resulting in serious injuries or fatalities” means any motor vehicle
  accident in which a person was killed or in which one or more
  persons suffered a fractured bone, severe burns, disfigurement,
  dismemberment, partial or total loss of sight or hearing, or loss of
  consciousness.
