Maryland DUI Frequently Asked Questions

Defending a DUI/DWI charge involves knowledge of a complex system of administrative or legal and procedures and penalties. These questions are typical questions received.

Should I have refused the breath test at the police station?

You have the right to refuse to submit to the breath or blood test. Due to the Maryland implied consent law the consequence is that your license can be suspended.

If there are prior offenses, the consequences must be weighed. Your license will be automatically suspended if you refuse, but you deny the state crucial evidence in the case. However you also risk an increase in punishment if convicted, an extra $500.00 fine and 60 days in jail. Prior to taking any test to determine your BAC, always ask to speak to a lawyer.

What penalties am I facing?

If you are charged under 21-902 (a), the penalties are a maximum fine of $1,000.00 and/or imprisonment up to 1 year.

If you are charged under 21-902 (b), the penalties are a maximum fine of $500.00 and/or imprisonment up to 60 days.

The penalties increase for a subsequent offender, which is a prior conviction within 5 years.

If you refused a chemical test or the test results were .08 or greater your license may be suspended. If the test results were .08 or higher, your license may be suspended for 45 days (90 days for a subsequent offense). If you refused the test, your license may be suspended for 120 days (1 year for a subsequent offense).

If you are found to refused the breath test you may face additional penalties of a maximum fine of $500 and/or an additional imprisonment up to 60 days.
