(A) Any driver or operator of a motor vehicle who, having been given a visual or audible signal by a peace officer directing such driver or operator to bring his or her vehicle to a stop, willfully fails or refuses to obey such direction, increases his or her speed, extinguishes his or her lights, or otherwise flees or attempts to elude the officer, is guilty of violating this subchapter. The signal given by the peace officer may be by hand, voice, siren, red or blue light, provided the officer giving such signal shall be in police uniform, and, if driving a vehicle, such vehicle shall be marked showing it to be an official police vehicle.
(B) Upon receiving notice of such conviction, the Secretary of State may forthwith suspend the drivers license of the person so convicted for a period not more than six months.
