You should definitely contact an attorney directly to assist you with this matter. The consequences of not receiving competent counsel could be extreme.
You are facing points for the speeding, not to mention the serious penalties for DWI. You need to hire an experienced DWI attorney as soon as possible so that your case can be reviewed and any and all defenses can be assessed. Many qualified ones can be found on avvo by using the find an attorney search engine.
You were smart to reach out for help.
As you describe the case; it is winnable.
Retain an attorney to file a motion to preserve the video.
Then, a motion to dismiss should be filed.
Do you have medical concerns that would have made the tests difficult?

There are many reasons for a false blow including the Alcotest not working properly. (two tests are required). You can contest the arrest and the stop as well. If you want to fight hire an experienced criminal defense attorney.
You need a good DUI defense lawyer, there, now! Anything in your mouth can mess up a breath test.
Often people think that because it isn’t a murder case, a drunk driving case is simple. Nothing could be further from the truth. These cases can be among the most complex a criminal defense lawyer handles. The government is willing to spend an incredible amount of money to convict you though. They will have expert witnesses available for consultation and trial.
That you have been charged or that some contraption says your alcohol level was at a certain level does not mean that you are guilty. It certainly does not mean that you can be proven guilty using competent, valid evidence.
Field sobriety “tests” are designed to give police a reason to arrest. You cannot “pass” them. The police will admit that almost a third of healthy young adults who take these tests without any alcohol will be judged to be “under the influence” – and that assumes they are properly administered!
After even a first drunk driving conviction, you may face employment discrimination. You will certainly be charged higher for insurance. Having such a conviction will also make you a target for drunk driving arrest in future interactions with police. You will automatically become a suspect.
You will want a lawyer who is familiar with field sobriety “tests,” perhaps one who is certified to administer these tests. You will want a lawyer familiar with the weaknesses of the contraptions that are used to report alcohol or drug levels. You want an experienced trial lawyer, used to cross-examining police officers. Police officers are practiced, experienced witnesses.
That is, you want an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer, whether you call the offense DUI, OWI, DWI, OUI, or drugged driving.
