Under Georgia's implied consent law, what happens if you refuse the state's chemical test?
- A Your license is suspended for at least one year
- B Nothing, because the test is voluntary
- C You get a 30-day suspension
- D You just have to pay a $10 fee
Show answer
A. Your license is suspended for at least one year
Georgia law requires you to submit to state-administered tests of blood, breath, urine or other substances. Refusing leads to a suspension of at least one year, and a refusal of a blood or urine test can be used as evidence at trial.
Your doctor prescribed a medicine that makes you drowsy and unsafe to drive. Can you be charged with DUI?
- A No, prescribed drugs are always exempt
- B Yes, a prescription is not a defense if it impairs you
- C Only if you also had alcohol
- D Only if the drug is a controlled substance
Show answer
B. Yes, a prescription is not a defense if it impairs you
It is unlawful to drive under the influence of any drug, prescription or illegal, that impairs your ability to drive safely. Read warning labels and ask your pharmacist before driving on a new medicine.
