You have just 15 days from the date of your DWI arrest to request a special DPS hearing or you will automatically lose your driver’s license.
Your constitutional rights allow you to refuse to take a field sobriety test if you’re stopped for suspicion of DWI. However, Louisiana law calls for an automatic 6-month suspension of your driver’s license if you don’t submit to the test.
According to Louisiana DWI laws, anyone over the age of 21 is considered legally drunk when they have a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher. The legal limit for motorists under the age of 21 is 0.02%.
You can be charged with DWI while operating any ‘means of conveyance’, including automobile, boat and aircraft.
