What are the Penalties for Refusing a DUI Chemical Test in Maryland?
In a lot of DWI arrests in Maryland, many people face additional penalties and life-changing consequences for refusing to take a breath or blood test at the time of their DUI stop and/or arrest.
The problem is that, most people have no idea that their refusal to take a chemical test could result in a minimum 120 day suspension of their driver’s license whether they are found guilty of drunk driving or not.
Many people also don’t realize that their refusal to submit to a chemical test at the request of law enforcement can be used by the State of Maryland as evidence against them in any criminal proceedings stemming from their arrest.
