Once again, it must be noted that once the Department establishes its prima facie burden of showing that the licensee was arrested on reasonable grounds of operating under the influence, was asked to submit to a test, refused to do so, and was provided the appropriate warnings, the burden then shifts to the licensee to establish that his or her refusal of the chemical test was not knowing or conscious or that he or she was physically unable to take the test. Ignoring the trial court's credibility findings, Zwibel contends that at worst the evidence showed (1) a little erratic driving; (2) slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, which he contends could be attributable to his medical condition; (3) an overwhelming smell of alcohol, which Zwibel posits could be attributable to near beers or no-alcohol beers; (4) belligerence and confrontationism, which Zwibel seems to infer he did not demonstrate, contending that Officer Simko's testimony regarding this behavior simply revealed his bias; and (5) Officer Simko's failure to allow Zwibel to perform and presumably pass field sobriety tests.

Nick the Blades pop-culture claim to fame is that he was the infamous Pittsburgh connection from the Oscar-nominatedfilm Goodfellas (1990), supplying wholesale cocaine to real-life New York Lucchese mob associates Henry Hill, James (Jimmy the Gent) Burke and Thomas (Two-Gun Tommy) DeSimone, portrayed by Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, respectively, in the cinematic classic hemmed by the legendary Martin Scorsese. At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court denied Zwibel's appeal, determining that Officer Simko had probable cause to stop Zwibel's vehicle and that Zwibel had refused to submit to a chemical test when requested to do so. Zwibel's argument, however, is rendered momentarily interesting by the fact that it rests on two different and completely opposing theories: one, that Zwibel did actually submit to the blood test when Officer Simko was not looking; and two, that Zwibel did not make a knowing and conscious refusal to take the test because of his medical condition and medications as described by Dr. Kush. Instead, Zwibel reasserts (1) his facially meritless argument that Officer Simko lacked probable cause for the traffic stop and arrest; (2) his argument that Officer Simko lacked reasonable grounds to suspect that he had been operating while under the influence of alcohol based upon Zwibel's version of the facts, not those found by the trial court; and (3) his facially meritless argument that the Department failed to satisfy its burden of showing that Zwibel made a voluntary, conscious, and knowing decision to refuse to submit to a blood test. Needless to say, this is well-established law. Although Zwibel had testified that at the time of the traffic stop, he had been plowing snow for 48 hours straight, Dr. Kush testified that he saw Zwibel on the morning of the traffic stop and that there was no indication that he was particularly tired because of having been up for many hours plowing.
