AMDifficulty 1/5

At a preventive alcohol checkpoint, a traffic officer requires a driver to take the test. Must the driver comply even without a crash or offence?

Correct answer

Yes, including at a preventive checkpoint.

Yes. Article 21 includes preventive checkpoints among the cases in which drivers may be required to take a test. A crash or offence is not necessary. Refusal can lead to immobilisation and the applicable legal consequences. This concerns a driver required by a competent traffic officer, not a request from a private person.
