Sample question from test 1
alcohol
A Wisconsin driver is asked to take a prohibited alcohol concentration test and refuses. What consequence does the handbook describe?
- The officer must arrest the driver, and driving privileges are lost for at least one year
- The driver receives only a written warning for a first refusal
- The refusal changes the charge to a parking violation
- The driver may refuse if no crash occurred
Answer: The officer must arrest the driver, and driving privileges are lost for at least one year. Wisconsin treats refusal of a requested prohibited alcohol concentration test as a violation of the Implied Consent Law. The officer must arrest the person, and the handbook says driving privileges will be lost for at least one year, with additional consequences possible. A warning is not the described outcome, and neither the absence of a crash nor a different traffic charge creates an exception. When an officer lawfully requests the test, remember that refusal itself triggers the arrest and revocation consequences. The key cue is the phrase prohibited alcohol concentration test, not a voluntary roadside conversation.
