DUI specialist attorney, do electric kickboard riders also need to take a breathalyzer test?

Hello. This is the DUI specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

Riders of personal mobility devices such as electric kickboards also have the obligation to refrain from drunk driving.

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

If you refuse the breathalyzer test, it is regarded as refusal of breathalyzer testing and you may receive heavier punishment.

Police officers may conduct breathalyzer tests when judged necessary for traffic safety and danger prevention, or when there are substantial reasons to suspect that the driver is intoxicated.

At this time, the driver must comply with the police's test request, and if they do not comply, a fine of 130,000 won will be imposed.

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

Please confirm the details through consultation with a DUI specialist attorney.

The DUI specialist attorney will provide specific advice and assistance based on the relevant laws and precedents so that electric kickboard riders can also comply with the law safely.
