Can I be charged with 23152(b) if I refuse the BAC tests?

A. Marie Felsen
Answered by attorney A. Marie Felsen (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of A. Marie Felsen, Esq.
You will probably be charged with VC 23152(a) which is based on Field Sobriety Test and the Police statements that you were not fit to drive. Penalties are the same - most people are arrested for both 23152 (a & b) but convicted of one or the other. Did you do the right thing? Well, we usually do not recommend what you did because now you are probably facing a one year suspension by the DMV with no possible restricted license. then again, on the other hand, there is less evidence on you... so I suppose it might help you out if you were to go to court. Hard to say.

Depending on the specific facts of your conviction; it sounds like you are eligible for a full license. In Colorado, the DMV will restrict driving privileges for one year based on a refusal, as long as it is a first offense. Once you have sat out the required amount of time, you are eligible to get a full license back. This assumes no other licenses restrictions, point suspensions, etc. If you want to know for sure, contact the DMV.

How much trouble am I in exactly for being arrested for DUI?

Laurie A. Schmidt
Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
DUI and resulting convictions are serious and have many lasting consequences. From what you said, in Colorado, your license will be suspended, you would have to pay restitution, could face jail time, community service hours, and/or fines and fees. In addition you would be required to carrier SR 22 and install and ignition interlock in your car in order to reinstate driving privileges. You might want to consider retaining a local DUI attorney to represent and defend the charges against you.
