Do I have to be breath tested?
Police can request a breath test from any person they find driving or in control of a motor vehicle OR who they believe has been driving a motor vehicle in the last 3 hours.
Refusing a breath test can occur when someone refuses outright to take the test, when they fail to provide a proper sample after numerous requests. or when they fail to remain at a testing station.
Will I lose my licence?
If you plead guilty or are found guilty of refusing a breath test, the simple answer is yes, you must lose your licence. It is mandatory. For a first offence it is 2 years, for a subsequent offence it is 4 years.
There are no exceptions and no special licences that you can get to drive during this time. They don’t exist.
