By driving in California, you have already agreed ("implied consent") to:
Answer choices
- Random vehicle searches at any time
- Chemical testing if lawfully arrested for DUI— Correct answer
- Give up your right to a lawyer
- Pay any traffic fine without a hearing
Why this is the answer
Simply by driving in California you agree to a breath, blood, or urine test when an officer suspects DUI. Refusing means DMV will suspend or revoke your driving privilege for a year. That consent covers chemical testing for DUI, not random vehicle searches and not giving up your right to a lawyer.
