Which statement about implied consent is true?

Which statement about implied consent is true?

• A. Applies only if the driver is in a car accident
• B. Operates or controls a motor vehicle on state public highways
• C. Requires written consent
• D. Applies regardless of location

Answer: (B)

Implied consent means that by operating a motor vehicle on state public highways, you are understood to have agreed to chemical testing if lawfully stopped for suspected impairment. This is why the correct statement is that it applies when you operate or control a motor vehicle on state public highways. It isn’t limited to accidents, it doesn’t require written consent, and it doesn’t automatically apply in all locations—rules can differ for private property or areas outside the state.
