Question image: Are alcohol tests mandatory in the event of an accident or traffic check?
  • A No, they are always voluntary
  • ✓ Yes, they are mandatory at checks, accidents and offences
  • C Only if the driver requests it
  • D Only at night

Why this is the correct answer

Every driver must take the alcohol and drug tests carried out by traffic officers. Other road users must also take them if they are involved in an accident or have committed an offence (art. 14.2, Traffic Act). Refusing is a very serious offence (art. 77.d), unless it amounts to a criminal offence.
