What happens after the second refusal of an ALS?

In the context of the Administrative License Suspension (ALS) laws, the outcome after the second refusal to submit to a chemical test is significant. When a driver refuses a test for the second time, the consequence is a suspension of their driving privileges.

The correct outcome for a second refusal typically involves a longer suspension, reflecting the seriousness of repeated non-compliance with testing requirements. In many jurisdictions, a second refusal can lead to a suspension of up to two years, underscoring the state's commitment to ensuring road safety and compliance with driving regulations.

The option indicating immediate reinstatement would not align with the penalties associated with refusing testing after prior infractions. Safety laws are in place to discourage such refusals, as they can indicate a heightened risk for impaired driving.
