Refusal of Breath or Blood Test

HKnow Your Rights. Protect Your Rights.

If your vehicle is stopped on a Virginia road, you are not legally required to take a field sobriety test, even if a law enforcement officer asks forcefully. However, a refusal to take a breath or blood test at the police station can have significant consequences. If you are convicted of first-time refusal, you are subject to a mandatory one-year loss of your driver’s license with no possibility of obtaining a restricted license.

If you refused a blood or breath test and you want to reach the best possible outcome of your case, it is essential that you talk to an experienced DUI attorney about your legal rights and options. At Nichols & Green PLLC, we have successfully represented hundreds of drivers.
