Refusal to take a preliminary breath test and refusal to take further testing to determine bodily alcohol content (BAC) have different penalties. Michigan has Implied Consent Laws, which means when you applied for a drivers license in Michigan, you agreed to comply with requests by law enforcement officers to take chemical tests to determine your BAC. If you refuse a test after being arrested, six points will be added to your driver record and your license will be suspended for one year. Suspension is automatic for any refusal to submit to the test and is a separate consequence from any subsequent convictions resulting from the traffic stop. If you refuse to take the test under the Implied Consent Law or if the test shows your BAC is 0.08 or more, your drivers license will be destroyed by the officer, and you will be issued a paper permit to drive until your case is resolved in court.
