Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: is a crime punishable under the criminal code.

When driving a motor vehicle or moped, refusing the test is a criminal offense, whether or not there has been an accident. It is punishable by six months to one year in prison and loss of the right to drive. On a bicycle, it isn’t a criminal offense, but it is a very serious traffic violation carrying a fine of 1,000 euros.
