A second refusal within 84 months results in suspension for how long?

A second refusal within 84 months results in suspension for how long?

• A. 2 years
• B. 1 year
• C. 6 months
• D. 3 years

Answer: (A)

In Arizona, refusing to submit to a chemical test under the implied-consent law triggers an administrative license suspension, and the length increases with the number of refusals within an 84-month (7-year) window. A second refusal within that period results in a two-year suspension, reflecting the harsher penalty for repeat refusals. For context, a first refusal is typically a one-year suspension, and a third or subsequent refusal within the same 84-month window can lead to a three-year suspension. Therefore, a second refusal within 84 months is correctly tied to a two-year suspension.
