How would you sum up New York's Implied Consent Law?
Under implied consent, choosing to drive in New York counts as advance permission for a breath test or other chemical test after an arrest on suspicion of impaired driving. A refusal carries separate penalties of its own, starting with a suspension that can end in revocation of the license.
