Question 5218

If the breath alcohol test result is positive, the officer may immediately immobilize the vehicle, unless...

  1. minor children or elderly people are passengers.
  2. the driver pays the imposed fine on the spot.
  3. another duly authorized person can drive it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: another duly authorized person can drive it.

If you test positive, the officer may immediately prevent your vehicle from being driven further, unless another person qualified to drive can take over. In the picture, a female passenger is waiting with her driver’s license in her hand. Paying the fine does not prevent this, nor does having children or elderly people as passengers, although the officer must look after their safety.
