What does Oregon's Implied Consent law require?
-
A.
You agree to a roadside sobriety test only.
-
B.
You agree to take a breath, blood, or urine test. Correct
-
C.
If you refuse the test, your license is automatically suspended for one year with no hearing.
-
D.
You agree to a breath test only; blood and urine require a warrant.
The answer is "You agree to take a breath, blood, or urine test."
By driving in Oregon, you have already agreed to take a breath, blood, or urine test when a police officer asks. Refusing can bring a fine and a suspension of driving privileges. If you think of the roadside walk-and-turn as "the test," you land on A, because that confuses the field sobriety exercises officers use during a stop with the chemical tests the law actually names.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. You agree to a roadside sobriety test only.
Implied consent covers chemical tests: breath, blood, or urine. Roadside field sobriety exercises such as walk-and-turn are a different part of a stop. This answer pictures the walk-and-turn or one-leg-stand as 'the test' because those exercises are what a driver actually sees performed at a traffic stop.
C. If you refuse the test, your license is automatically suspended for one year with no hearing.
The manual describes refusal as potentially leading to a fine and/or suspension of driving privileges; this answer adds a fixed one-year automatic term and no-hearing rule that are not part of the tested rule. This answer borrows a hard automatic one-year suspension from another state's refusal statute.
D. You agree to a breath test only; blood and urine require a warrant.
Oregon's implied consent law lists breath, blood, and urine tests together, not just breath. This answer treats blood and urine as more invasive tests requiring separate legal process such as a warrant.
