If you are arrested for DUI and refuse the lawful breath test, what happens to your license, apart from the criminal case?
- A.Nothing happens to your license for refusing
- B.Your license is only suspended if you are later convicted
- C.Refusal automatically cancels the DUI arrest
- D.Your license is suspended for the refusal itself under implied consent
Correct answer
D. Your license is suspended for the refusal itself under implied consent
Why
Refusal has its own administrative consequence: a license suspension for refusing, independent of whether the DUI charge results in a conviction. The refusal can also be used as evidence in court.
