Correct answer
Yes, the duty also applies to drivers without a previous offence or symptoms.
Yes. Article 14.2 of the Road Safety Act requires drivers to undergo legally administered traffic-officer tests for alcohol or the presence of drugs. A previous offence or symptoms are not required. Other road users are also required when involved in an accident or having committed an offence; this does not impose unconditional testing on every pedestrian. Detecting the presence of drugs is not necessarily proof of impairment.
