An officer has probable cause to believe you drove under the influence and gives the required warnings about a chemical test. Can refusing the test cause a license suspension?
Correct answer: Yes, refusal or failure to complete the required test can trigger suspension
Why
When there is probable cause to believe a person operated under the influence, the statute requires submission to and completion of the specified chemical testing. A breath test is used unless the officer determines it unreasonable, in which case another chemical test is administered. Refusal has suspension and other consequences subject to the required warnings and hearing provisions. This is not an unlimited authority to demand a test at any time without the statutory conditions.
