DUI Highest Rate withdrawn
Anonymous2 views3 answers
My brother was charged with DUI general & DUI highest rate (because he refused breath test). The Dept. of Transportation (Penndot) suspended his license for 18 months. Now the DUI highest rate charge has been withdrawn. Can he go back to the DOT with this withdrawn charge info and ask for a reduced suspension time?
No.
The license suspension was for the refusal itself and is a civil penalty. Even if the entire criminal case against your brother was thrown out, the suspension would remain.
I agree with my learned colleague. I write separately to encourage you and your brother to pose additional questions of this nature in the future to your brother's attorney. He or she is in the best position to guide both of you.
