Alaska License Suspension Issues
If you were arrested for a DUI in Alaska, Alaska's Implied Consent Statute requires a person to submit to chemical testing. The police officer will inform the DUI suspect of their implied consent rights. There is a criminal component for a DUI suspect that does not submit to chemical testing in addition to any civil suspensions associated with the DUI arrest. The penalties for refusing a chemical test are the same for a DUI conviction. The sentences for the DUI and the test refusal can be ordered by the judge to be served concurrently or consecutively. Consecutively means one sentence is served after the first sentence is completed.
Driving is considered a privilege and not a right. If the driver refuses the chemical test or registers a result of .08 or higher, their driving privileges will be suspended for 90 days. Individuals who take the test are eligible for a work permit for 60 days of their suspension. The individuals who refused have no right to that permit
The length your license suspension depends upon certain factors, such as is a first-offense or multiple-offense DUI, and whether a chemical test was given or whether it is a refusal case. A refusal case is a term that the driver refused to submit to chemical testing. If you refuse, the suspension is 90 days; First offense is a 90 day suspension; DUI second offense is a 1 year revocation; Third offense is a 3 year license revocation; and the Fourth offense the license is revoked for 5 years.
