Kevin Hayslett: Hi! I'm Attorney Kevin Hayslett. The subject is to blow or not to blow. Many people asked me as a DUI criminal lawyer, do I choose to take a breath test or do I? That's a very important question you have been asked who you are. You need to think about the ramifications. It used to be in the 1983 every lawyer day their client to take the breath test.
Now with law changes, suspension is significant. You need to understand a couple of things. Number one, if you refuse to take a breath test in most states, your license is immediately suspended. That period of time usually it is one year for a first refusal and 18 moths for second refusal. If you blow, the license is suspended for six months; much less time and the hard suspension, the time that you can go without driving is usually 30 days if you take the test and 90 days to 18 months after you used to take the breath test.
So unlike, advice of the ADs in the year 2008 to take the breath test, usually as your best evidence. Unless, if far many things occurred. If you have consumed so much alcohol that you are going to blow extremely high then you need to refuse to take the breath test. What if other circumstances, that arrives make it difficult to provide a report in refusing made to the best option? But you need to understand if you refused to take the breath test now, longer license suspension, longer hard suspension and it's a greater impact on your life.
