1. “"The implied Consent Law was not designed to give greater rights to a suspected drunken driver than were constitutionally afforded before its passage. Its purpose was intended to impose a condition on the right to operate a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state. The condition requires that a driver, by so operating a vehicle in Wyoming, consents to submit to chemical tests for intoxication under statutorily determined cire[uJmstances. The refusal to submit to a test can result in revocation of a driver's license. It was intended to facilitate the tests for intoxication and not to inhibit the ability of the state to remove drunken drivers from the highways of our state. In light of this purpose, it must be liberally construed to effectuate its policies."”

3. ““A fair reading of the entire implied consent law indicates that a person arrested for DWUI should be warned that his driving privileges will be in jeopardy unless he submits to a chemical test. We do not think precise words are determinative unless an arrested person can show that the language used by the arresting officer was misleading or was not entirely clear.” 638 P.2d at 1294 .”
