what happens if I refuse a breath test in Alabama
Refusing the chemical test can suspend your driving privilege even before you sort out the criminal case.
Alabama’s implied-consent law requires that the driver be told refusal will result in suspension; ALEA’s implied-consent warning states refusal can mean a 90-day suspension for a first refusal and longer for later refusals. If refusal is part of your case, get the officer’s paperwork and the implied-consent notice to counsel immediately.
