What happens if you refuse to take a chemical test?

New York has an Implied Consent Law, which means that by driving in the state, you have given your consent to a chemical test if you are arrested for an alcohol- or drug-related violation. If you refuse to take the test, your license will be suspended. If a DMV hearing later confirms that you refused the test, your driver license will be revoked, even if you are found not guilty of the original charge.
