What is the consequence of refusing a chemical test under Michigan's implied consent law?

Implied consent means you agree to take a chemical test if an officer has reason to believe you’re under the influence. If you refuse that test, the state responds by suspending your driving privileges. That suspension is the primary consequence of refusal, and the duration depends on factors like whether you’ve refused before or have prior offenses. You may also face fines or other penalties if you’re charged with or convicted of impaired driving, but the refusal itself mainly leads to losing your license, not simply a monetary fine or nothing at all.
