Can agents immobilize the vehicle if the driver yields a positive result in alcohol tests?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a mandatory precautionary measure. If a driver exceeds the maximum established alcohol limits or tests positive for drugs, agents will immobilize the vehicle using mechanical procedures (clamps, seals) or move it to an impound lot. The immobilization aims to guarantee road safety and will remain in effect until the cause disappears (the driver tests negative in a subsequent test) or until another licensed driver takes charge of the vehicle. The driver's age is not a determining factor for immobilization, but rather the test result.
