Athens Georgia License revocation drunk driving lawyers
Georgia, like every other state, has an administrative penalty for any driver who upon being asked by a police officer to submit to a state administered chemical sobriety test does not take the test. This refusal does not result in any monetary fines to be paid, nor can you be imprisoned simply for not taking the government s test. Meanwhile, the State will seek to suspend your drivers license for a period of one year.
A person who contests this suspension by filing a request for a hearing within 10 business days after the alleged refusal may succeed in preventing this suspension for refusal. When counting days, the day of arrest will not count. Also, never include Saturdays, Sundays or State holidays. Failure to appeal the suspension within 10 business days will almost certainly result in this one year suspension. In rare cases, if providential cause for delayed filing can be established, a late appeal will be accepted by DPS.
