driving privileges will be suspended for 1 year along with a $250 civil penalty.

In the
matter of an Idaho DUI, you have only 7 days in which to launch your
defense. You need immediate help.
If you fail - or
refuse to submit to submit to chemical testing, the police will confiscate your
driver's license and issue a temporary permit (so long as your license was not
already suspended or revoked due to previous violations). The temporary permit
will be valid for 30 days, or until the date a decision has been made following
an administrative review hearing. Persons who refuse chemical testing may
request a hearing within 7 days. You
can read more about this under the heading Implied Consent, below the county
chart.
