Here, they suspend your license for declining a test.
What's bothersome, is that you may not even have taken anything that day, but it would still show up in a blood test from use on previous days.
The license suspension for declining a test is a tricky point. They need probable cause to ask you to take a test in the first place. That's where the lawyer (preferably an ex-cop or ex-DA) really can help with the whole DUI mess.
Since I get stopped for a moving violation maybe once every 3-4 years, I'd probably go right on driving, even if my license were suspended. Might switch cars with my wife though, just in case I drove past the same officer, who popped me. I know... it's like double dipping!
