Final answer:

Under Kentucky's Implied Consent law, refusal to take a chemical test when arrested for DUI can lead to the suspension of your driver's license, even without a DUI conviction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Implied Consent law in Kentucky states that anyone who operates a motor vehicle consents to a chemical test if they are arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence). If one agrees to take this test and the evidence suggests that they are over the legal limit for blood alcohol content, this data can be used against them in court. Refusing to take the test has its own consequences. Specifically, if you refuse to take the chemical test, your driver's license may be suspended, regardless of whether you are ultimately convicted of the DUI charge or any other related violations.
