If I get stopped for drinking and driving, do I have to submit to a breath test?

Having a North Dakota license automatically provides your consent to be tested if stopped by a law enforcement officer, while driving. This is the law of "implied consent" and can be used by the officer to test you if you are stopped on the suspicion of drunk driving, either through a breath test or a blood test. Refusing to take the chemical test will result in your license being revoked for a year for the first offense, 3 years for the second offense (in 5 years) and 4 years for the third offense (in 5 years).
