Re: DUI - A trip report
[ QUOTE ]
This is interesting. I don't know about the laws in my province, but what are the immediate consequences of blowing or taking the blood test, if you do test that you are above the legal limit? Far worse than what you got, right?

Here's how it works in my state (Illinois)
If you test over .08, you will lose your license for 3 months and be convicted of DUI. If you refuse to blow, you will be charged with DUI, but any decent attorney will get that beat, unless they have videotape of you falling down, slurring your words, etc, or if you admit to being drunk. However, refusing chemical tests results in an automatic 6 months suspension. You have to decide what's more important... Losing you driving privileges for an additional 3 months, or having a DUI conviction.
