Lawyer buddy told me a few years ago that if you have any possibility of failing, you should never submit to a test. Never.Said that if you refuse, they take your license for a year but that it won't damage your insurance or go on your record as a DUI.If you fail a test, you still lose your license, get royally mumped on your insurance, and get a DUI on the record.Thankfully, I haven't had to make this decision myself.

Yeah, but some people can't lose their license. This way I'd say the worst case scenario is that you are in jail for 8 hours or whatever, you pay a fine for drunk in public, then they let you go.
also, most people that lose their license are able to drive for work and school still on a restricted. They issue you a piece of paper that says so, but take your actual license. I know this because I know someone at KSU that pulled a check scheme at the mall immediately after getting a DUI. Wrote a bunch of checks, used the piece of paper as ID, then reported check book stolen. Boom, bank took care of the "fraud", she kept a bunch of free stuff, and she could still drive to work and school.
Curious what actually happened with that girl because KS does not allow for restricted driving privileges after a DUI. Not to work, school, AA, etc. Unless my probation officer, attorney, judge, etc were all just playing a joke on me...

My attorney buddy told me to never refuse. Said he can get me off on the DUI but can't do crap about the automatic loss of license deal.
I got mine at like 1030 (pm), spent about 45 minutes in jail, had a buddy pick me up and went to Old Towm for a few more beers before last call.
You're pulled over, what do you do?I say you keep two empties and one full can of beer in your car. When you get pulled over, stop, turn your engine off, drop your keys out the window onto the ground so that the officer can clearly see you do it. Pretend to pound the two already open beers. Open and drink the remaining beer. Hey, officer, prove I was drunk while I was driving. Boom.Would that work? I think it would.EDIT: Of course, you'd probably get a drunk in public or something, but that is way better than a DUI.
