Question 5420
Are drivers of personal mobility vehicles required to undergo the alcohol and drug tests established for their detection?
- No, unless they have previously been reported for a traffic violation.
- No, because a driver's license is not required to operate them.
- Yes, just as if they were driving any other vehicle.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, just as if they were driving any other vehicle.
Yes. Electric scooters and other personal mobility vehicles are vehicles, and their riders must take alcohol and drug tests just like any other driver, even though they do not need a license. Officers may ask them to take the tests at a preventive checkpoint without a prior citation. In the picture, an officer is testing a scooter rider.
