Refusing a breath test administered by a police officer can... save you from a conviction. help your case. add sentencing to your conviction.

Refusing a breath test administered by a police officer can add sentencing to your conviction. In many jurisdictions, it is illegal to refuse a breath test if you have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI). Refusing the test can result in additional penalties, such as license suspension or fines, on top of any other penalties you may receive for a DUI or DWI conviction.
