How long do you lose your driver’s license for refusing a breathalyzer?

The length of time a person loses their driver’s license for refusing a breathalyzer can vary depending on the state and the circumstances surrounding the refusal. In general, a first offense refusal can result in a suspension of 6 months to 1 year, and subsequent offenses can result in longer suspensions or revocation of the license. In some states, an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) may be required in order to regain driving privileges. It is important to consult with a legal professional in your state for specific information about consequences for refusing a breathalyzer.
