Georgia DUI Implied Consent


If you have a driver's license in the state of Georgia, you'll want to read the following information. Known as “implied consent”, it is a law that states that any person who operates a motor vehicle in the state is deemed to have consented to a DUI chemical test.



The implied consent law is put into place as a means for the government to use evidence against you in a court of law. While this is legal, there is some fallacy behind it. A person driving down the state highway is most likely unaware that he or she is required to submit to a chemical test at the lawful request of a police officer.

While every state has differing DUI laws, the federal government is closely involved in DUI. The federal government funds grants to states that implement certain DUI prevention programs.

As a direct result of this, many states, like Georgia have set driver's license suspension systems into their implied consent statutes for both failure of a chemical test and refusal to take a test.

Many states, including Georgia require that a police officer invokes the implied consent statute to provide the DUI suspect with some form of warning or advisory. Due to this, DUI lawyers have argued that a refusal to submit to the test prior to knowledge of the consequences of that refusal should not be allowed to provide a basis for the suspension of the driver's license!

Having a tough DUI lawyer on your defense team is your only hope in winning your case! They may be able to use the flaws in implied consent laws to turn your case around!
