DUI PSA Video on

• Be careful of what you say: At the point of the traffic stop, the officer has very little evidence to hold against you. Many drivers who are under the influence of alcohol will start talking and back pedaling. Not only does this give the officer the opportunity to hear a slur in your voice or smell alcohol on your breath, it gives them evidence to use in court.
  
  
• IMPORTANT: You do have a right to remain silent — but you can NOT consult an attorney during the DUI stop or during DUI testing.
  
  
• IF YOU REFUSE any DUI testing, to include Breath, Urine or Blood, Penndot WILL suspend your license for one year regardless of your actual Blood Alcohol Concentration BAC and regardless of the outcome of your DUI case.
  
  
• Know your rights before refusing a breathalyzer: In some states, refusing a breath test may be the right decision because there would not be evidence of blood alcohol content (BAC). But in Pennsylvania, if you refuse a breath test or other chemical BAC test, you will receive the highest level of penalties — as if you had a BAC of .16 or higher AND you will receive an automatic license suspension AND you will automatically be sentenced to three days in jail — in addition to any penalties you may face for a DUI conviction.
