∙ 12y agoIf you refuse to submit to a chemical test for intoxicants, you will lose your driver's license for at least six months and for as long as three years, depending on the state and the circumstances. In some states, you can be physically compelled to submit to a test. If you refuse to choose between a blood or breath test, force can be used to obtain the blood for testing.

∙ 6y agoYour driver's license is going to be in serious jeopardy, and they are probably going to take you to jail anyway, if they can smell your breath or you have bloodshot eyes, or any other positive indications that they have enough to arrest you. It's really a catch-22. If you don't pass, you were going to be arrested anyway, plus they have evidence that they can use to prosecute you later. If you refuse, they can bring it up in court that you refused the test, which sounds guilty.
Lawyers often say refuse to submit to a test until you can speak to an attorney, because it makes it easier to defend you later, but of course the best thing to do is not drink and drive at all. A DWI can cost you ten thousand dollars, if not much more... even if you manage to get your license back. Cabs are much, much cheaper than that.

Refusing to submit to a sobriety test is your right by law true or false in Florida?
You can refuse a field sobriety test and that is your right and you cannot be punished from refusal alone. If you refuse a blood or urine or breathe test then you automatically have your driver's license suspended for a year.

When can a police officer ask you to take a sobority test?
A police officer needs only reasonable suspicion of driving while intoxicated to ask you to submit to a sobriety test, actually called an SFST: Standard Field Sobriety Test. You are not obligated to submit to such a test. However, if you do not take the test, the officer will act on the observations he has already made of your behavior, and may arrest you for driving under the influence. He will then ask you to submit to a breath or blood test. If you refuse one of those, you will have your driver's license revoked.

In Florida refusing to submit to a sobriety test is your right by law true or false?
you can always refuse a sobriety test no matter what state, but when u do so the fine u get is nonnegotiable. ====== Most states have what are known as implied consent laws, where, by driving on public roadways within that state, you essentially acknowledge your consent to be rendered a field sobriety test if pulled over. Refusing to take a field sobriety test will lead to arrest, and a good chance that a warrant will be obtained for them to take a BAC reading by means of involuntary blood test, as well as additional charges.
