DUI Auto Insurance Implications
The DUI Stop....what are the potential effects of a DUI on your auto insurance?
Imagine this....you are driving home from a party, dinner or some other function one night. You've had a drink, maybe two (or more), and you are pulled over by the police.
Depending on the circumstances, the officer suspects you
to be a candidate for a blood, breath, or urine test.
Can you refuse to take the test? Should you? What are the DUI auto insurance implications if you refuse?
Think twice.....if you refuse to take a state test, your license or privilege to drive in Georgia could be suspended for a full year possibly!
A refusal basically offers the same outcome as an unlawful BAC, only with an unlawful BAC, you have 10 business days from the day of arrest to request a DMV hearing for prevention of a license suspension.
According to Georgia Administrative License Suspension vehicle code 40-5-67.1 G, your Georgia Drivers License will be suspended for a period of 12 months pursuant for a first offense.
As a first time OR repeat offender, a Ga DUI conviction will carry serious consequences with regard to your insurance premiums.
You simply may be dropped from insurance with a DUI. Auto insurance costs can skyrocket, affecting even family members covered on your insurance policy.
