RI Penalties for Refusing a Breathalyzer Test
- The penalties for refusing to take a breathalyzer test include:
- Up to a 6-month driver's license suspension
- Up to 60 hours of community service
- Up to a $500 fine
Rhode Island's Implied Consent Law
Why is refusing to take a breathalyzer test such a serious offense? Because under the state's "implied consent" law, your consent to taking a breathalyzer or chemical test was automatically granted the moment you applied for your driver's license.
If you refuse to take the test, the law enforcement officer is required to inform you of the penalties for doing so and your right to see a doctor for testing. Tom and his firm may be able to prove that you were unlawfully stopped or that you were not informed of your rights or the penalties for refusing the test.
