Implied consent statutes require individuals who operate a motor vehicle in Connecticut to submit to chemical testing if the driver is arrested for a lawfully DUI. The test maybe blood, urine or breath and is in the discretion of the police officer. If the driver refuses to submit to chemical testing, the driver will lose their driving privileges. Any refusal to submit to chemical testing will be admissible in any criminal proceeding
The length your driver’s license suspension will depend on various factors. A refusal case is a term that the driver refused to submit to chemical testing. If you refuse, the suspension is 6 month; Second offense refusal is a 1 year suspension; and Third offense refusal is a 3 year license suspension.
If you submit to chemical testing and fail the test, the suspension is 90 days to 120 days; Second offense refusal is a 6 to 9 month suspension; and Third offense is a 2 to 2.5 year license suspension. There is an Administrative License Revocation Process. The Department of Motor Vehicle will determine whether your license is subject to suspension and will notify you in writing.
