No, you may refuse. See an attorney for implications of refusing DUI tests and possible defenses to criminal charges.

No. However, when you signed for your DL in Florida, you already consented to submitting to sobriety exercises if legally requested by law enforcement. Therefore, you can refuse; however, the State has a right to suspend your DL for that refusal (either 12 or 18 months) and use it against you in Court in a DUI prosecution.

I would speak with a local attorney that specializes in DUI in your area.

Good luck,
