Do i need to request a DOL hearing?
I was arrested for a DUI and blew a 0.08 on scene and a 0.06 at station on the draeger alcotest , the i taken home and did not get any paperwork other than my test results.
When you are arrested for DUI, and you provide a breath or blood test above .08 or you refuse to take a breath or blood test, it triggers an administrative action against your license. You have 7 days from the date of arrest to request the hearing or your license is suspended by default. My concern is always that the officer has sent the wrong paperwork to DOL or alleges that you refused a test. If you haven't requested a hearing, it becomes a nightmare to unravel. The safe answer is always request the hearing.
