“Refusal” equals drunkenness: why an attempt to deceive the traffic police will turn into a collapse for Pskov

Employees of the traffic police remind: the hope that the refusal of medical examination will help to avoid punishment is the worst strategy.

The law interprets this situation unequivocally: a driver who refused to undergo an inspection is automatically recognized as being behind the wheel under the influence. He faces the same sanctions as the caught red-handed: a large fine, prolonged deprivation of rights, and if he relapses, criminal liability.

Experts also warn about the incorrect interpretation of the norm of 0.16 ppm. This indicator was introduced only to compensate for possible errors of measuring instruments, and not as a legal limit of alcohol consumption. Any amount of alcohol driving is a risk of tragedy. Take care of yourself and others: a sober driver is the only safe option.
