Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a fundamental obligation. According to the General Traffic Regulations, all drivers (including cyclists) must submit to the tests if requested by an officer. This applies in four main situations: 1) During routine preventive checkpoints. 2) If the driver is involved in an accident. 3) If a traffic violation has been committed. 4) If the driver shows obvious symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol. Remember that refusing to take the test is a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment and license suspension.
