This means that when you are driving a car in Oregon, you have implied that you will consent to a breath, blood, or urine test if asked by a police officer. The maximum penalties for refusing to blow in Salem, Oregon is a fine. A police officer can also then request a warrant for a blood or urine test. In addition, the DMV can also suspend your license anywhere from 90 days to several years after receiving notice that you have refused to “blow”.
