A breath test refusal on a first offense OUI will result in a license loss of 180 days for an adult. The refusal suspension period goes up based on the number of prior offenses. For example, if you have:
- One prior conviction or admission the refusal suspension period is 3 years;
- Two prior convictions, the refusal suspension period is 5 years; &
- Three prior convictions, there is a lifetime suspension for a breath test refusal.
The above suspension periods are for adults with a regular driver’s license. If you are facing a license loss because of an OUI charge, contact OUI Massachusetts lawyer Shane W. Surrette at (774) 364-4605 or at [email protected] today.
