Preliminary Breath Test DUI Refusal
When a police officer expects that you have been drinking and driving, they may ask you to step out of the vehicle and perform a preliminary breath test to confirm their suspicions. At this time, you may refuse this breath test, and in most cases, you should always refuse the preliminary test and take the civil infraction charge.
DUI Refusal After Arrest
If you have been lawfully arrested for a DUI, you will be taken to a local police station. There they will order you to take a breath test. In Michigan, the implied consent law says you agree to take the test when administered. Refusing this breath test after an arrest will result in six points on your driving record and a suspension on your license.
