Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, just like the alcohol tests.

Yes. Every driver must take drug tests when asked by a traffic officer, just like alcohol tests, including at preventive checkpoints and even if they have not been in an accident. If you drive a motor vehicle or moped, refusing is a crime.
