Explanation
Florida’s Implied Consent Law states that by driving in the state, you automatically agree to submit to chemical testing (breath, blood, or urine) if a law enforcement officer has reasonable grounds to suspect impairment. Refusing to take the test results in serious penalties: a first refusal leads to a one-year license suspension, while a second refusal carries an 18-month suspension and a first-degree misdemeanor charge. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
