Statutory Definition of Implied Consent Violation
New York’s “implied consent” law, found in NY Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1194, means that by driving on NY roads, you automatically consent to a chemical test (breath, blood, or urine) if a police officer has reasonable grounds to suspect DWI. Refusing this test is a separate violation from DWI itself. A breathalyzer refusal defense lawyer Queens County understands that the DMV hearing is a civil proceeding, distinct from any criminal DWI case. The burden is on the officer to prove the refusal was willful. An implied consent law violation lawyer Queens County can cross-examine the officer and present evidence to avoid a license revocation.
