The Florida Implied Consent Law requires you to take a DUI test if an officer suspects you of impaired driving. You will lose your license if you don’t comply with this law. The maximum legal blood alcohol level for drivers over the age of 21 is .08. For drivers under age 21, it is .02. BREAK

Refusal to test

When you obtain a Florida driver’s license, you agree to obey all motor vehicle laws, including the Florida Implied Consent Law. You may not know that refusing a lawful request to test will result in an automatic one-year license suspension. A second refusal to provide a breath, urine, or blood alcohol test results in an 18-month license suspension. And if you’ve declined two or more times to take a DUI test, you’ll be ineligible for a hardship license. Many drivers regret putting themselves in this situation, as they later discover they would have been better off taking the test.
