I'm not sure of what you mean by "failure to purchase drivers license"?
As for your second DUI, if it is within a 5 year period:
- Up to $2,000.00 fine
- 10 days to 1 year jail
- 1 year absolute license suspension
- Obtain an alcohol evaluation
- Follow the recommendation of evaluation
- Interlock device on car for 1 year after driver's license suspension ends
- 2 year probation - usually supervised.
As for refusing a BAC, all Idaho drivers have impliedly consented to take a test to determine alcohol concentration if lawfully requested to do so by an Idaho peace officer who suspects the driver is under the influence of alcohol (DUI). If you are arrested for Idaho DUI, you may refuse to take the test, but if you do, the arresting officer will seize your driver's license. The officer may issue you a temporary driving permit good for 7 days; giving you the opportunity to request a hearing. If the court upholds the officer's findings, your license will be suspended for 180 days for refusing to take the alcohol concentration test if it is your first offense. This penalty is in addition to any penalty you receive in court for alcohol or drug related conviction. A second refusal within five years will result in a one-year suspension. These suspensions do not provide for restricted privileges of any kind.
Having a second DUI plus refusing a BAC for sure will hurt if not kill your chances of becoming a firefighter. You will want to hire an attorney to represent you on these charges.
Just a word of advise here, but if you truly want to become a "productive member of society" how about not drinking and driving? Just a thought.
