  5. In Indiana, what happens if you refuse a chemical test when an officer has probable cause (and you have no prior OWI conviction)?

    • A Your license is suspended for 180 days
    • B Your license is suspended for one year
    • C Your license is suspended for two years
    • D You receive a warning and 6 points
    Show answer

    B. Your license is suspended for one year

    Indiana suspends a driver who refuses a chemical test for one year, longer than the 180 days for failing one. With a prior OWI conviction, refusal brings a two-year suspension.
