Contrary to popular belief, you can refuse to take a breathalyzer test. But, this does come with some severe consequences depending on which state you are stopped in.

But the cost of submitting could be a guaranteed DUI charge, which likely carries steeper consequences than refusing to blow. This article will discuss implied consent laws and how they could impact you.
