Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. If you test positive, the officer may prevent your vehicle from being driven further, even if your alcohol level is less than twice the limit. This can be avoided if another person who is legally qualified and fit to drive takes charge of it. In the image, the passenger car has a wheel clamp on its front wheel.
