Can I refuse an Alcotest® or a Breathalyzer® test?

Every state has its own version of an implied consent law providing that a driver impliedly consents to alcohol testing just by the act of driving. In all states, a refusal to take a breath test is itself a violation subject to stiff penalties. For example, refusing a breath test might result in automatic drivers-license suspension or revocation. If you are ultimately found guilty of a drunk-driving offense, there may be additional penalties because of the test refusal, such as a additional license suspension. Your test refusal may also be used as evidence against you in a drunk-driving case.
