What is a common consequence for refusing to submit to a stop when driving?

Refusing to submit to a stop while driving can lead to significant legal repercussions, one of which is a possible arrest under the Uniform Law on Intoxicant Alcohol and Related Substances (U.L.I.A.R.S). This provision is designed to address instances where a driver fails to comply with law enforcement requests, often stemming from concerns regarding impaired driving.

When a law enforcement officer signals for a driver to pull over, they are acting on the suspicion of unlawful behavior, frequently related to violations involving alcohol or drugs. Refusal to comply can escalate the situation, leading law enforcement to assume that the driver's actions may be indicative of further illegal activity. Consequently, officers are empowered to arrest a driver for non-compliance, as it poses a potential risk to public safety.

The other options, such as automatic license renewal, issuance of a warning, or a ticket for speeding, do not align with the typical legal consequences for refusing to comply with a stop. License renewals and warnings do not pertain to compliance with law enforcement, and while a speeding ticket may occur independently of a refusal to stop, it is not a direct consequence of that refusal.
