Like most other states, Minnesota has an implied consent provision. This means that by obtaining a driver's license in the state, you are consenting to be subjected to tests when pulled over on suspicion of DUI. If you do not allow testing to proceed after you are pulled over, your driving privileges will be revoked for a set period of time.
