When a driver in Pennsylvania is pulled over on suspicion of DUI, they may face a critical decision—whether or not to submit to a breathalyzer test. While refusing the test is an option, it comes with significant legal consequences under Pennsylvania’s implied consent law. Understanding your rights and the potential penalties can help you make an informed choice.
Pennsylvania law requires all drivers operating a vehicle within the state to consent to chemical testing, including breathalyzer tests, if they are lawfully arrested for DUI. This falls under the state’s implied consent law, meaning that by driving on Pennsylvania roads, you automatically agree to undergo testing if law enforcement has probable cause to suspect intoxication.
Refusing a breathalyzer test in Pennsylvania can result in immediate administrative and legal penalties, separate from any DUI charges. These include:
