If you refuse a test, chances are that you will be taken into custody and brought to a police station. You may be held until someone can pick you up or you have sobered up. In addition, your license may will be suspended for one (1) year automatically suspended and your vehicle may be impounded for a period of time after the incident. However, these penalties seldom apply to refusing to perform field sobriety tests (FSTs), which are the physical coordination tests that a police officer may have you perform.
