If a driver refuses to submit to testing when arrested, what will happen to their driving privileges?

If a driver refuses to submit to testing after being arrested, their driving privileges will be suspended. The correct outcome in this scenario is that their driving privileges will be suspended for three months. This consequence is part of Illinois' "implied consent" law, which means that by obtaining a driver’s license, a driver agrees to submit to chemical testing if arrested for DUI. Refusing to take the test leads to immediate repercussions, reflecting the state’s commitment to thwarting impaired driving.

This suspension period serves as a deterrent for drivers who may consider refusing testing in the future and emphasizes the importance of compliance with law enforcement protocols during DUI stops.
