I have been representing clients who have been charged with a DUI and lost their driving privileges in Illinois, around the Schaumburg and Chicago areas, for over 17 years. I often recommend to clients that it is in their best interests to refuse a sobriety test in order to prevent the prosecution from securing evidence against you. However, there are consequences to refusing to take a sobriety test.
A police officer is required to request a chemical test when there is probable cause to suspect DUI is a factor when a crash results in personal injury or death. A driver who refuses to submit to such testing will have their driving privileges revoked for a minimum of one year. If a driver refuses to submit to chemical testing and is subsequently ordered to have a blood withdrawal, the driver may be liable for the medical costs associated with the blood test (up to $500) if the driver is consequently convicted of DUI.
For more information about DUI convictions, contact our office to speak with a defense attorney experienced in DUI cases.
