Home › DMV Practice Tests › New York › Learner's Permit (Car) Questions › Question 97
If a police officer suspects you of DWI and you are arrested, refusing a chemical test in New York can lead to:
- A.License revocation and civil penalties, separate from the DWI charge itself
- B.Immediate dismissal of all charges
- C.No consequences of any kind
- D.A small fine with no license effect
Correct answer
A. License revocation and civil penalties, separate from the DWI charge itself
Why
New York treats chemical-test refusal after a DWI arrest seriously: your license can be revoked and a civil penalty imposed. Refusal does not make the underlying case disappear.
