If you refuse to submit to a test of your blood alcohol level, your license will be automatically suspended for ________ if this was your first such offense.

Explanation

Under Florida's Implied Consent law, by operating a motor vehicle in Florida, you have implicitly consented to being tested for alcohol or drugs upon the request of a law enforcement officer. If you refuse, your license will be suspended for one year if this was your first such offense. For a subsequent offense, your license will be suspended for 18 months and you will be charged with having committed a first-degree misdemeanor. First-degree misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. , ,
