Can a minor accused of DUI refuse to take the breath test?

Yes, however, a minor's refusal to submit to a properly requested breath test will result in the following penalties:

1. suspension of your driving privileges for not less than 120 days if this is your first arrest for an alcohol related driving offense. If you were arrested but do not have a license, the state will not issue one to you for 120 days.

2. a 240 day suspension of your driving privileges if your record reflects one or more drug or alcohol related offense during the five year period preceding your arrest.
