Part 4 of 5-part series, prepared by Peter L. Johnston, Esq., Philadelphia DUI Lawyer
There a couple of potential “driving under the influence” (DUI) pitfalls of which you should be aware. When you apply for a driver’s license, the small print on your application states that you are formally agreeing to submit to toxicological testing in the event you are arrested on probable cause for DUI. If you refuse to submit to testing, your driver’s license is automatically suspended for one year – regardless of whether or not you were actually intoxicated under the law.
If you are found driving while on that suspension or for driving on any suspension imposed on you as a result of a drunk driving conviction, you will be charged with driving on the DUI revoked list. If convicted, you will serve a mandatory sentence of 90 days in prison. The consequences of driving on the DUI revoked list truly are dire.
