Under a state’s “Implied consent” laws, when you apply for and receive a drivers’ license, you consent to submit to field sobriety tests should you be pulled over by law enforcement under suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs. And while law enforcement officers cannot force you to submit to a field sobriety test, there are consequences for not submitting. Penalties for refusing to submit are based on whether this is your first, second, or third refusal offense.
