What does Oregon's Implied Consent law require?
-
A.
You agree to take a breath, blood, or urine test. Correct
-
B.
You agree to a breath test only; blood and urine require a warrant.
-
C.
You agree to a roadside sobriety test only.
-
D.
If you refuse the test, your license is automatically suspended for one year with no hearing.
The answer is "You agree to take a breath, blood, or urine test."
Oregon's Implied Consent law means that by driving on the state's roads, you have agreed to take a breath, blood, or urine test when a police officer asks. Refusing can bring a fine and a license suspension. The law covers all three chemical tests, not just breath, and is separate from field sobriety testing.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. You agree to a breath test only; blood and urine require a warrant.
The law covers breath, blood, and urine, with no warrant carve-out. Misreading: Narrows implied consent to breath only, when the manual lists breath, blood, and urine together with no warrant carve-out.
C. You agree to a roadside sobriety test only.
Implied consent is about chemical tests, not field sobriety tests. Misreading: Confuses roadside field sobriety tests with the chemical tests (breath, blood, urine) the manual actually names.
D. If you refuse the test, your license is automatically suspended for one year with no hearing.
The manual says refusal 'may' bring a fine and/or suspension; it does not state an automatic one-year term or rule out a hearing. Misreading: Adds specific terms (automatic, one-year, no hearing) absent from the manual, which only says refusal may result in a fine and/or a suspension of driving privileges.
