A revocation is the loss of driving privileges with no guarantee of reinstatement. An individual may apply for reinstatement at the end of the revocation period. An administrative hearing, remedial education, recent alcohol/drug assessment, substance abuse treatment, purchase of SR22 insurance and payment of applicable fees also are required. If approved, reinstatement requires retesting and fees for a new driver’s license.

Now in the great corrupt State of Illinois when you refuse to a chemical test you will face stiffer suspensions.

Here is a look at the what failing to submit to a chemical test in Illinois will cost you are far as driving privileges now.

Refusing to submit to chemical testing

1. First Offense — Suspension of driving privileges for 6 months (eligible for JDP on 31st day of suspension)*
2. Second or Subsequent Offense — Suspension of driving
   privileges for 3 years (not eligible for driving relief)

NEW LAW * Effective Jan. 1, 2009, a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) will replace the Judicial Driving Permit (JDP). Also, the suspension period for a first offense for failing chemical testing will increase to 6 months; the suspension period for a first offense for refusing to submit to chemical testing will increase to 12 months. A first-time DUI offender who wishes to obtain and is eligible for driving relief during the suspension period must have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) installed on his/her vehicle.

At first glance, the IID sounds rather easy to circumvent. If one has to blow into a nozzle to start the car, there appear to be several easy ways around this requirement. Have a friend blow into the IID; inflate a balloon before you drink and attach it to the device; keep some sort of hand pump around to trick the IID.

However, there is a statutory requirement that any IID approved for use in Wisconsin institute rolling retests. That is, five minutes after you have started your car, the IID requires another breath test. Moreover, the IID continues to require retests every 5-30 minutes, obviating any chance that a friend or stranger could assist a drunk driver in getting very far.

As far as mechanical methods of tricking the IID, the current generations of IIDs are too clever for that. Some require the user to hum while breathing into the unit; or the IID is sensitive to the temperature of the air being tested, so that cold air from a pump or balloon will result in an aborted test.

Although, someone with sufficient technical knowledge could remove the IID while still allowing the car to start, this tampering information is instantly recorded in the IID, and will be transmitted to the vendor at the servicing time.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that subversion of the IID mechanism is uncommon. But the more pressing issue is not subverting the device, but avoiding IID use altogether.
