Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Police arrest a driver for operating while intoxicated (OWI). The officer then asks the driver to take a breath test under the Implied Consent Law. The driver refuses. It is the driver's first refusal. What happens?
Correct answer: The driving privilege is revoked for at least one year, and other penalties can follow.
Why
When you drive in Wisconsin, you are considered to have agreed to breath, blood or urine tests when an officer asks for them after an OWI arrest. The officer must tell you that a refusal leads to revocation of your operating privilege and that the refusal can be used against you in court. The refusal penalty is separate from any OWI charge. The only safe plan is never to drive after you drink alcohol or use drugs.
