Your license can be suspended 2 ways from a DWI arrest: 1) Administrative License Revocation (ALR)- If you are arrested for DWI and refuse a breath or blood test, your license can be suspended 6 months; if you voluntarily provide a sample, it can be suspended for 90 days. You can request a hearing on the license revocation within 15 days of arrest or it is waived. If no hearing is requested, the suspension starts 45 days after arrest. If you request a hearing, your license may not get suspended - you would need a lawyer for this.   2) DWI conviction- 1st offense DWI conviction your license can be suspended from 90 days to 1-year.   If your license is suspended, you can obtain a license to drive during the suspension (occupational drivers license).

Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

Possibly. I am guessing that the cop asked for a blood draw because of your low BAC reading. He is hoping you have an illegal substance in your body. Clearly, you were not under the influence of alcohol to a degree that would warrant a conviction. Hope this helps.

How can I have my DUI drop to a reckless opp.?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
At .17 you would be considered "super drunk" and many prosecutor's offices have a policy against lowering the charge, especially to a non-alcohol related offense like reckless driving. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's an uphill battle. There may be issues with the stop or how your blood alcohol content was determined. Only an experienced DUI attorney with a trained eye would be able to tell you for certain. A good DUI attorney is a great investment. This is serious and can have long-lasting effects so I would consult with a DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible.
