NHTSA encourages States to provide for enhanced sanctions for drivers who refuse to submit to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test after probable cause forimpaired driving is established. To discourage test refusal, sanctions for refusal should be stricter than those imposed on offenders who submit to and fail a test. The BAC of a driving-while-impaired (DWI) offender is one of the most valuable pieces of evidence in an impaired driving case. Enhanced sanctions for refusal remove a motivation for offenders to refuse.
