Correct answer
Yes, refusal may lead to immobilisation.
Yes. Article 25 allows immobilisation following refusal, by sealing or another effective method; this does not necessarily mean removal to a pound. Unless subject to a judicial order, immobilisation may end when its cause disappears or another authorised driver offering sufficient assurance to the officers takes over. Refusal may also constitute the criminal offence under Penal Code Article 383, rather than only an administrative infringement.
