How long do I have to request an MVD hearing after a Tempe DUI arrest?

You have 30 days from the date the officer serves the Admin Per Se / Implied Consent Affidavit to request an MVD administrative hearing under A.R.S. § 28-1385. Miss the deadline and the license suspension becomes automatic.

What is the difference between regular, Extreme, and Super Extreme DUI in Arizona?

Regular DUI is a BAC of 0.08+. Extreme DUI is 0.15+ and carries a mandatory 30 days jail. Super Extreme DUI is 0.20+ and carries a mandatory 45 days jail. All three are Class 1 misdemeanors unless aggravating factors upgrade the case to a felony under A.R.S. § 28-1383.

Are field sobriety tests mandatory in Arizona?

No. Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are voluntary in Arizona. Declining them is not itself evidence of guilt, but officers will record the refusal and may use it to articulate probable cause.

Can I refuse the breath or blood test in Arizona?

Arizona operates under an implied-consent law. Refusal triggers an automatic 12-month license suspension (24 months for a second refusal within 84 months), and the State can still obtain a warrant for a blood draw.

When is an ignition interlock required after a Tempe DUI?

Arizona requires a certified ignition interlock after any DUI conviction — 12 months for regular DUI, 12 months for Extreme, and 18 months for Super Extreme. AES is a state-certified provider.
