Correct answer: Yes, when directly involved as a possible party responsible for a crash.

Yes. A pedestrian must take the test if they are involved in a crash or have committed a traffic violation. In the image, the officer is testing a pedestrian next to a passenger car with front-end damage. At preventive checkpoints, however, only drivers are asked to take the test.
