Can a minor accused of DUI refuse to take the breath test?
Yes; however, a minor's refusal to submit to a properly requested breath test will result in the following penalties:
- Suspension of the minor's driving privileges for not less than 120 days after a first arrest for an alcohol-related driving offense. If the minor was arrested and does not have a license, the state will not issue one to the minor for 120 days.
- A 240-day suspension of driving privileges if the minor's record reflects one or more drug- or alcohol-related offenses during the five-year period preceding the arrest.
