If convicted of DUII, your license will be suspended. Suspension lengths vary.
A suspension or revocation for a DUII conviction is separate from a suspension under the Implied Consent law.
Implied Consent
Oregon's implied consent law means that by driving a vehicle you have implied that you will consent to a breath, blood or urine test if a police officer asks you to.
- Refusal to take a test is admissible as evidence in court.
- Drivers over 21 years old will fail the test if their blood alcohol reading is 0.08 percent or more.
- Drivers under 21 will fail the test if they have any amount of alcohol in their blood.
- An implied consent suspension is separate from a suspension from a DUII conviction.
- If you have a valid Oregon Driver License the officer will take it and issue a 30-day temporary driving permit.
- After 30 days, the suspension is in effect and the temporary driving permit is no longer valid.
If you receive a notice of intent to suspend from a police officer under Oregon's Implied Consent Law, you are entitled to a hearing.
Suspension lengths are:
- Failing a breath test - 90 days or one year.
- Refusing to take a breath test – One year or three years.
- Refusing to take a urine test - One year or three years.
Ignition Interlock Device
An ignition interlock device, or IID, is used to make sure a vehicle won’t start if the driver has alcohol on their breath.
If you have been required to have an IID installed in your vehicle:
- You must submit proof at the end of the requirement that you haven’t tried to start your vehicle with alcohol on your breath in the last 90 days, or your requirement will not be removed; and
- You are responsible for paying all costs related to the device.
