Oregon’s implied consent law means that if you are pulled over for suspected DUI and you refuse to submit to a test, your license will be suspended. You will be issued a temporary license until a hearing can be held. Typically penalties for refusing to submit to a test are harsher than an actual drunk driving conviction.
