What does Florida's implied consent law mean for a driver lawfully arrested for DUI?
- A.You may refuse all tests with no consequence
- B.Only professional drivers are covered by implied consent
- C.By driving, you have agreed to take a lawful breath (or other chemical) test, and refusing it brings a license suspension
- D.You must consent in writing each time you renew your license for tests to apply
Correct answer
C. By driving, you have agreed to take a lawful breath (or other chemical) test, and refusing it brings a license suspension
Why
Implied consent is part of the bargain of holding a Florida license. If you are lawfully arrested for DUI and refuse a breath test, your license will be suspended for that refusal, separate from the DUI case.
