Breath test refusal attorney, do I also need to take a breath test when riding an electric scooter?

Hello. This is the breath test refusal attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (Limited).

If you operated an electric scooter while drinking, this constitutes DUI, and you must respond to the police officer's breath test request.

First, electric scooters are personal mobility devices under the "Road Traffic Act."

The DUI prohibition obligation applies equally to those operating these personal mobility devices.

In other words, DUI is established when operating an electric scooter with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or more.

Violations result in a 100,000 won fine, and separately from the fine, administrative dispositions such as license suspension or revocation may also be carried out.

In addition, if a police officer judges it necessary for traffic safety, or if there is substantial reason to believe that you operated an electric scooter while intoxicated, they can request a breath test to confirm whether you have been drinking.

In this case, the driver must comply with the test, and refusing this without justifiable reason constitutes breath test refusal.

If you fail to comply with or refuse a police officer's breath test request while operating an electric scooter, a 130,000 won fine is imposed.

For details related to breath test refusal, please check through consultation with a breath test refusal attorney.

The breath test refusal attorney reviews whether breath test refusal is established and the scope of applicable legal liability based on the circumstances at the time of the crackdown and the investigation procedure.
