Did You Refuse the Breathalyzer Test?

To be found guilty of DUI, the state must prove that your blood alcohol content (BAC) was .08 or above. The Breathalyzer test is one of the methods used by law enforcement to take this measurement. If you refused to take the Breathalyzer test, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) will suspend your driver's license for 120 days minimum. However, if you did take the test, you can qualify for an occupational driver's license. Talk to attorney Michael G. Banks about the Breathalyzer test ― whether you took the test or not.
