What happens if I refuse the breathalyzer?
In Rhode Island, refusing the breathalyzer is a decision that comes with many consequences. Your first refusal will result in a suspended license, high fine, mandatory community service, and enrollment in DUI treatment courses. Subsequent refusals will be cited as criminal actions, and you will see more serious penalties as a result.
