Jones County GA License suspension defense attorneys
Macon Georgia Criminal Lawyer
In Georgia, like in all other states, there is an administrative penalty for any driver who upon being requested by a police officer to submit to a state issued chemical sobriety test does not take the test. This refusal will not result in any monetary fines to be paid, nor can you be imprisoned simply for refusing to take the State s test. Meanwhile, the State will seek to suspend your drivers license for a period of one year. A person who contests the suspension by filing a request for a hearing within 10 business days after the alleged refusal can succeed in stopping this suspension for refusal. When counting days, the day of arrest will not count. Also, do not count Saturdays, Sundays or State holidays. Not appealing the suspension within 10 business days will almost certainly result in this one year suspension. In rare cases, if providential cause for late filing can be shown, a late appeal will be accepted by DPS.
