Q

Drunk driving attorney, do electric kickboard riders also have to take a breathalyzer test?

Legal IntellectualViews8,012

Hello, drunk driving attorney. Sometimes I drink and ride an electric kickboard home. Yesterday, on my way home, I saw a police officer conducting breathalyzer tests on the road. It seemed that electric kickboard riders were also being tested, so do I have to take a breathalyzer test when riding an electric kickboard too?

Answer to Related Inquiry

Hello. This is a drunk driving attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

Riders of personal mobility devices, such as electric kickboards, also bear the obligation not to drive under the influence.

Therefore, when a police officer requests a breathalyzer test for drunk driving enforcement, the rider must comply.

If one refuses the breathalyzer test, it is deemed a refusal of a breathalyzer test, and one may be subject to more severe punishment.

A police officer may conduct a breathalyzer test when it is judged necessary for traffic safety and the prevention of danger, or when there is substantial reason to suspect that the driver is intoxicated.

At this time, the driver must comply with the officer's request for a test, and if they do not comply, a penalty of 130,000 won is imposed.

In addition, if an accident occurs due to drunk driving, criminal punishment and even civil liability for damages may arise, so special caution is required.

For details, please confirm through a consultation with a drunk driving attorney.

Based on the relevant statutes and precedents, a drunk driving attorney will provide specific advice and assistance so that electric kickboard riders can also safely comply with the law.
