Implied Consent

Did You Give Consent to Take a Breathalyzer Test?

Did you know that you have already consented to a breathalyzer test? Everyone who has a valid drivers license has given consent. It's called implied consent. When you accept the privilege to drive, you also give consent to take a breathalyzer test any time you are pulled over.

Whether or not you believe implied consent of right or fair, it is a fact that has to be dealt with. At the Ayres Law Firm in Salt Lake City, Utah, we know how to deal with the legal aspects of implied consent.
