Boston DUI Defense Attorney

Breathalyzer Refusals

Massachusetts has strict laws regarding refusing a breathalyzer test.  If you refuse the breathalyzer test, you face an immediate suspension of your license for a period of 180 days or even longer, even your whole life in some cases, depending on if you have earlier multiple DUI convictions.   The way the new DUI laws currently work, this is the damage to your ability to drive, based on any earlier convictions:

• First Offense:  180 day automatic driver's license suspension
• Second Offense (or under 21 years of age): 3 Years license revocation
• Third Offense: 5 Years license revocation
• Fourth Offense: 10 years license revocation
• Fifth Offense: License revoked for life
