Trooper said she didn't have to take the blood test because she feared needles after she declined and signed papers Trooper said to her she should have taken the blood test. She got scared that she did something wrong and asked the trooper if she could have the blood test. He told her no, she couldn't because she signed the papers. Now she fears she'll automatically lose her license for a year. Is this true.
Nothing is automatic but a refusal does carry a 1 year license suspension. The DUI may also carry a license suspension if she gets convicted, and that would be run consecutive. She should contact a local DUI attorney to discuss the potential appellate outcomes in her particular case. There are always options, but most of them require a good lawyer to bring to fruition.
