Actions of a traffic police inspector when stopping a drunk driver

Regulations for testing for alcohol by traffic police officers 👮🏻 in the Russian Federation

Drunk driving is a serious offense that can lead to accidents on the road. Traffic police officers have the right to stop a driver if they suspect drunk driving. Also, during the holidays, special raids with mass inspections are carried out to prevent crime. Let's consider what the procedure for testing for alcohol by a traffic police officer is in 2019.

Reasons for testing for alcohol

The procedure for determining whether a driver is drunk in most cases is the personal initiative of a traffic police officer after the motorist has been stopped. It is difficult to determine from a passing car that its driver has exceeded the dose of alcohol, and there are no clear instructions regarding the state of alcohol intoxication in the Administrative Code.

The only reason may be erratic driving, however, this term does not have a clear definition and is subjective in its assessment. After the driver has stopped to check documents, if there are external signs of alcohol intoxication, the inspector can test the citizen for alcohol. The obvious reasons for checking are:

a characteristic smell that comes from the car interior;
behavior that does not correspond to the situation (excessive aggressiveness, apathy, familiar treatment);
problems with speech (slurred pronunciation, slowness in giving answers, or long pauses between words).

There are some physical sobriety tests. For example, walk in a straight line or touch your nose with your index fingers. In fact, such requests are not included in the inspection procedures, however, they are preparation for it, since they do not lead to punishment for drunk driving.

Step-by-step driver verification procedure

It is believed that the grounds for conducting a sobriety test are rather vague. Indeed, traffic police officers do not offer all drivers who have speech problems to take a test. The behavior of a drunk driver is determined subjectively, so even the check at the place of arrest is not the basis for the final verdict. Only a doctor can decide whether the blood alcohol level is too high. The traffic police officer conducts only a preliminary check.

Preparatory stage

A sober driver should not worry if he is stopped by a traffic police inspector to check for alcohol. You just need to ensure that job descriptions are followed correctly. The traffic police officer must inform the driver of his intentions before conducting the inspection. At the preparatory stage, the actions when testing a driver for alcohol look exactly like instructions:

The traffic police inspector must introduce himself in full;
the motorist must turn off the engine;
the driver is informed of the need to test for alcohol with the reasons for its implementation;
a breathalyzer is presented. This device is an electronic device with a display; the kit also includes a disposable plastic mouthpiece. The tube itself should be in a plastic case with a seal to protect the driver from pre-damaged dough.

At the preparatory stage, the employee must explain how the breathalyzer works, and also begin filling out the protocol. It should be noted that filling out the protocol and the inspection itself can be carried out either with the participation of 2 witnesses, or when recording on a video camera by a law enforcement representative.

On-site inspection

A clean mouthpiece is inserted into the switched off device to measure alcohol concentration. After this, it is turned on for a test air intake. At this moment, you cannot breathe on the device, since a sample of clean air is being taken. At the end, the breathalyzer screen will display the message “Alcohol not detected.” Other inscriptions indicate that the device is not working correctly, which means that another mouthpiece must be taken and the procedure repeated.

Testing drivers for alcohol means that the driver must blow into a tube until he hears the characteristic sound of the device, indicating the end of the procedure. The display will show your blood alcohol content. The permissible alcohol level is below 0.16 mg/l.

The indicator is entered into the protocol in words to avoid substitution of numbers after the procedure. The protocol is filled out in 2 versions, one of which is given to the driver. In both cases, the signatures of citizens who were witnesses during the examination for intoxication are affixed.

Positive result

If the device shows that the dose of alcohol has been exceeded, you need to take a repeat test after 20 minutes. A new test is carried out with a new mouthpiece and a mandatory basic check. The second measurement is considered more accurate. If the device shows an excess for the second time, the driver can protest it and demand an inspection at a medical institution, based on the results of which an examination report for alcohol intoxication is drawn up. Then the protocol is not filled out at the place of arrest.

The traffic police officer himself must deliver the drunk driver, as well as the witnesses who were present during the inspection, to the place of medical examination. If it turns out that the driver is sober on the spot, the employee takes the citizen back to his car. If the result is positive, the corresponding report must be completed. A sample medical examination report for intoxication is available for review on our website.

A driver with a positive test receives a protocol with the signatures of witnesses. In case of severe intoxication, the motorist may be sent to a sobering center; in other cases, he must go home on his own by taxi or other transport, since driving is prohibited. Based on the protocol, a decision on punishment for the administrative offense will be made.

Good advice

It is possible that traffic police officers exceed their position when they use alcohol testing as a way to extract a bribe or harm the driver. In this case, you must remember:

refusal of the alcohol test procedure is equivalent to a positive result;
the driver has the right to declare that he wants to conduct only a medical examination;
within 5 hours you can contact independent institutions to check your blood alcohol content;
It is necessary to carefully monitor the implementation of the regulations by the traffic police officer.

A motorist can file a complaint against a specific inspector if he believes that the test for alcohol intoxication by a traffic police officer was carried out without reason. You can also file a complaint if the inspector did not adhere to the regulations of the procedure (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 26, 2008 N 475 and mandatory).

Punishment for drunk driving

The decision on punishment is made in court on the basis of the protocol. Typically, a driver who violates the rules and allows himself to drive while drunk is deprived of his license (up to 2 years) and is also required to pay a monetary penalty. The fine for alcohol intoxication in 2019 is 30 thousand rubles. There is also a penalty for repeat offenses.

How should drivers be tested for alcohol intoxication?

Good afternoon, dear reader.

Most domestic motorists are law-abiding and do not even entertain the thought of driving while intoxicated. A responsible driver will not face loss of license for driving while intoxicated.

Nevertheless, any driver should understand the procedure for checking for intoxication. This is necessary at least in order to prevent abuses by traffic police officers and not receive undeserved punishment.

This article discusses the rules for conducting a driver examination for alcohol intoxication in 2019:

First of all, I want to note that the decisive attitude of the driver in 90 percent of cases will scare away the traffic police officers, and no examination for intoxication will be carried out at all.

In the audio lessons of the free course “Secrets of Communication with the Traffic Police” it is constantly mentioned that the driver’s main goal is to prevent the traffic police officer from committing illegal actions. To achieve this, all administrative actions performed by the inspector should be documented. These questions are discussed in more detail in the audio course, and if you haven’t listened to it yet, I recommend starting to study:

Standard driver testing for intoxication

The goal of a “bad” traffic police officer is to deprive a law-abiding citizen of his driver’s license or to obtain a good bribe from him.

Therefore, communication with a “bad” inspector usually begins with hints that the driver is suspected of driving while intoxicated. In practice, many drivers only need a hint to “resolve the issue on the spot.” This is especially true for car owners who actually consumed alcoholic beverages in the previous days.

Most often, the inspector begins communication with the phrase: “You seem to be driving the car unsurely, comrade driver.” This phrase should not confuse you. It is best to immediately record the badge number of the traffic police officer and write down the details of his official ID.

If the driver does not fall for the inspector’s first phrase, then a proposal appears regarding an intoxication examination . Moreover, this proposal can be made very simply. The driver is asked to blow into a breathalyzer of unknown origin, which may be counterfeit or configured to produce results in the interests of the inspector.

interview begins regarding subsequent prospects. In this case, the driver found himself in a difficult situation, from which it is quite problematic to get out without losses.

Therefore, it’s time to move on to considering the correct procedure for testing for alcohol intoxication.

The correct procedure for checking a driver for intoxication

So, the first action that a traffic police officer must take, according to the administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is to remove the driver from driving.

1. Removal from driving a vehicle

The procedure for removal is described in detail in paragraphs 223-225 of the administrative regulations. In this article I will only touch on the most important points.

a) If a traffic police officer reveals signs of intoxication in the driver, then this is sufficient grounds for removal from driving. of intoxication include:

smell of alcohol on the breath,
instability of posture,
speech disorder,
a sharp change in the color of the skin of the face,
behavior that is inappropriate to the situation.

b) Removal must take place in the presence of two witnesses or using video recording.

c) When you are suspended from driving a car, a protocol is drawn up, i.e. written confirmation of removal.

The presence of witnesses and the need to draw up a protocol can “scare off” an unscrupulous inspector who is engaged in catching sober drivers in exchange for bribes.

Therefore, you should not blow into the breathalyzer of a traffic police officer immediately after stopping. First, require the preparation of documents on removal from management.

2. Examination for alcohol intoxication

Testing for intoxication has its own characteristics, which are discussed in paragraphs 227-232 of the administrative regulations of the traffic police.

a) The grounds for conducting an examination for intoxication are the signs listed above. Just in case, I’ll list them again:

smell of alcohol on the breath,
instability of posture,
speech disorder,
a sharp change in the color of the skin of the face,
behavior that is inappropriate to the situation.

b) Before taking the measurement, the traffic police officer must tell you what he will do and show that he is using a high-quality breathalyzer. Those. he must familiarize you with the documents on the verification of the device and show that the mark on the device is intact.

c) When determining the presence or absence of intoxication, the permissible error of the device .

d) Based on the results of the inspection, a special document is drawn up - an alcohol intoxication examination report . It is signed by the driver, inspector and witnesses , who in turn had to be present during the inspection and monitor the correctness of the actions of the traffic police officer.

Note. To test for alcohol intoxication, it is necessary to have two witnesses or use a video recording.

3. Medical examination for intoxication

Well, the last procedure that we will talk about today is a medical examination for alcohol intoxication. It is not necessary, but if you do not agree with the results of the breathalyzer, then a medical examination is the only legal chance to avoid deprivation of your rights.

To carry it out, you must indicate in the act from paragraph d) that you do not agree with the results of the examination and require a medical examination to determine the state of alcohol intoxication.

A referral for a medical examination for intoxication has the following features:

a) The referral is carried out in the presence of two witnesses or using video recording.

b) A protocol on referral for a medical examination for intoxication is drawn up, which is signed by witnesses.

c) Traffic police officers are required to escort the driver to the place of medical examination (to the appropriate institution). If the medical check does not reveal intoxication, the police must take the driver and back to his vehicle.

The medical examination itself is carried out according to the rules established by the Ministry of Health and discussed in a separate article:

Let's summarize this article. To check the driver for intoxication, the traffic police officer must draw up several protocols and involve witnesses several times (a video recording can be used instead of witnesses). If the purpose of the inspection is not to identify a violator, but to carry out a setup, then the inspector is unlikely to want to bother with documents and attract additional witnesses. It is much easier to stop the next driver who does not know the rules for testing for intoxication, and simply ask him to “blow into a straw.”

So if you don’t remember some details, then read the article again and study the administrative regulations of the traffic police.

In addition, I recommend that you listen to the free audio course “Secrets of communication with the traffic police.”

Well, in conclusion, I suggest you watch a funny video about a non-standard test for intoxication:

How to get your license back if you have drawn up a report for driving while intoxicated?

Now let's look at the mistakes of traffic police officers that can help you get your driver's license back:

The driver was not suspended from driving the vehicle
After a police officer has detected primary signs of intoxication in the driver (smell of alcohol on the breath, redness of the skin of the face, etc.), he is obliged to remove the latter from driving the vehicle until an examination is carried out.
What it should look like:
- The traffic police officer brings 2 strangers (witnesses) to the driver;
- Explains to the witnesses why he invited them, on the basis of which the driver will be removed from driving the vehicle;
- Witnesses must see the car that the driver was driving, otherwise it becomes unclear whether he is the driver or a passing pedestrian;
- The inspector draws up a protocol on suspension from driving a vehicle, the witnesses and the driver sign it, and a copy is given to the driver.
If the inspector carried out the procedure differently than stated above, the procedure for removing the vehicle from driving can be challenged!
The traffic police officers did not prepare the device for purging.
Before conducting an examination for alcohol intoxication, the traffic police officers, in the presence of 2 witnesses and the driver, reset the device readings and insert a sterile mouthpiece from the individual factory packaging.
Only after this is an examination carried out. If the specified actions were not carried out, the examination can be declared invalid.
The traffic police officers did not offer to blow out the device.
Often the traffic police officers forget to offer the driver to undergo an on-site examination using a technical device and immediately send him for a medical examination.
In this case, the referral for a medical examination is illegal, as are all subsequent actions and documents drawn up. Referring for a medical examination without offering a device is illegal!
Traffic police officers examined the driver with an expired or uncertified device.
It often happens that a driver’s intoxication is detected using a device that is not included in a special register or is overdue for calibration and verification.
The results obtained using such a device cannot form the basis for blaming the driver. A driver who has been examined with such a device is considered sober, since otherwise has not been proven!
Traffic police officers ask the driver to “pee in a jar.”
Traffic police officers often replace the examination procedure using a technical device with a request to submit urine for analysis on the spot.
There is no such procedure! Regardless of whether the driver is suspected of being intoxicated, drug or alcoholic, the procedure is the same: first we breathe into the device, then we go to the doctor. The results of a rapid drug test have no meaning, and a referral for a medical examination without offering a device is illegal!
Traffic police officers took the driver away from the place of detention.
Often, traffic police officers take the driver away from the place of detention to carry out the procedure and draw up protocols.
This is only possible if there is no breathalyzer device on board the patrol car and the police officers take the driver to the nearest traffic police post, or the driver does not have documents with him and he is taken to the police department or traffic police post for identification. In all other cases, compiling administrative material outside the place of detention is illegal! Protocols drawn up outside the place where the driver was detained can be considered illegal!
Traffic police officers carried out the procedure outside their location
Contrary to popular belief, traffic police officers cannot work in the area where they want.
There is a clear patrol route and duty assignment. If a traffic police officer voluntarily deviated from the patrol route and compiled administrative material regarding the driver, such administrative material is considered to have been compiled in violation of the law, and therefore invalid. The actions of traffic police officers outside their place of deployment are illegal!
Traffic police officers approached a parked car.
Sometimes traffic police officers draw up protocols regarding citizens who were near the car or in the car, but were not driving it.
A driver is a person who drives a vehicle. Control must be proven by traffic police officers. A person who was not driving a vehicle cannot be held accountable!
The procedure was carried out in the absence of witnesses
Witnesses must be directly next to the driver during the following procedural actions:
- when the driver is removed from driving;
- when undergoing an examination or proposal to undergo an examination using a technical means;
- when sending the driver for a medical examination for intoxication;
- when detaining a vehicle and placing it in a specialized parking lot.
If there were no witnesses for at least one of the above points, the procedure for bringing the driver to justice is illegal!
The length of time the driver was brought to justice does not correspond to the length of the video recording
Traffic police officers have the right to replace the participation of witnesses by video recording. However, they do this extremely ineptly. As a rule, police officers will first carry out the procedure, draw up protocols, and then turn on the camera and put on a performance, pretending that the procedure recorded on video is happening here and now. In reality it turns out the following:
- The video recording does not record the time of drawing up the protocols;
- The place where the protocols were drawn up was not recorded;
- The video recording does not show the fact of drawing up protocols;
- The procedure time indicated in the protocols does not correspond to the duration of the video recording, etc.
The video recording must reflect the entire procedure for bringing the driver to justice, starting with the removal of the driver from driving the vehicle, ending with the detention of the vehicle; otherwise, this video recording will not be considered evidence.
The administrative protocol was drawn up in the absence of the driver.
An administrative protocol cannot be drawn up in the absence of the person in respect of whom it is being drawn up, except in cases where the person ignored the notification of the official about the time and place of drawing up the administrative protocol.
Most often this happens after a medical examination, when the doctor took samples of the biological environment (urine, blood) and sent them for examination to the Regional Narcological Dispensary. Sending and receiving results takes time, so traffic police officers draw up a report on an administrative offense only after receiving the results of the study. A protocol drawn up in the absence of the driver is invalid!
Traffic police officers made changes to the administrative material in the absence of the driver.
Often, traffic police officers, after carrying out the procedure for holding the driver accountable, find their mistakes in the administrative material.
Without notifying the driver about the time and place of changes to the protocols, changes are made. It is illegal! Making any changes to the protocols in the absence of the driver makes these protocols invalid!
During an examination at a medical institution, doctors carried out blowing breaths at intervals of less than 15 minutes.
In accordance with Order of the Ministry of Health No. 933-, the doctor takes two measurements of the ethyl alcohol content in the exhaled air with an interval of 15 to 20 minutes.
Violation of this condition makes the medical examination act invalid. If the interval between blows is less than 15 minutes, the results of the medical examination are considered invalid!
During the examination in a medical institution, the doctor did not sample the biological environment (urine, blood).
In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health No. 933-, the doctor is obliged to select biological material for analysis, regardless of how intoxicated the driver is suspected.
In the absence of selection of biological objects for research, the medical examination report is invalid. If the doctor does not take urine or blood, the medical examination is illegal!
The medical examination was carried out by a doctor with an expired license or without one.
Conducting a medical examination requires a special license from the doctor.
A doctor who does not have the appropriate license or has expired does not have the right to conduct an examination. The medical examination report drawn up by such a doctor is illegal!

There are a number of other violations by police officers in which deprivation of rights can be avoided; we have indicated only the most common ones. If among the specified list you find something similar to your case, then you can avoid deprivation of rights with a high degree of probability.

Alcohol testing. How should a traffic police officer and a driver behave?

During the holidays, drivers are often stopped to check for alcohol intoxication. For some traffic police inspectors it is a conscientious performance of their duties, for others it is a way to earn money. But both of them must comply with certain rules for the verification procedure. If a sober driver knows them, then he can protect himself from unpleasant consequences in the form of deprivation of his license and large fines.

The main documents regulating the actions of traffic police officers are the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the execution of the state function of control and supervision of compliance by road users with requirements in the field of ensuring road safety (Articles 126–135) and the Rules for examining the person who drives the vehicle for condition alcohol intoxication and registration of its results, sending the specified person for a medical examination for intoxication, medical examination of this person for intoxication and recording its results.

After the traffic police officer stopped the car and introduced himself, he must explain the reason for the stop. In this material we consider one reason - “testing for alcohol intoxication.” It can be carried out either as part of a special raid or individually.

Reasons for verification

In accordance with the rules, a traffic police officer may have one of five or more reasons to doubt the driver’s sobriety:

smell of alcohol on the breath;
instability of posture;
speech disorder;
a sharp change in the color of the skin of the face;
behavior that is inappropriate to the situation.

Usually a “confidential” conversation begins: “Somehow your eyes are red. Somehow you are driving uncertainly. Did you drink anything before leaving? Did you drink anything strong yesterday?” etc. You should not rely on a friendly tone and start talking about your personal life. If a representative of the law has any suspicions, let him check according to the rules, and not hint at a possible “resolution of the issue on the spot.”

Preparatory stage

1. Before the inspection, the driver must be suspended from driving the vehicle. In this case, a protocol must be drawn up, which indicates: date, time, place, grounds for removal from control, position, special rank, surname and initials of the employee who drew up the protocol, information about the vehicle and the person in respect of whom this security measure was applied proceedings in a case of an administrative offense. When drawing up a document, two witnesses must be present.

2. The traffic police officer is obliged to describe to the driver the entire upcoming procedure and demonstrate a technical measuring instrument (the devices are called breathalyzers or breathalyzers) with an intact seal on which the stamp of the state verifier is read. The device must be equipped with a verification certificate or a verification record in the passport of the technical measuring instrument.

3. During any test for alcohol intoxication, two witnesses must be present.

If you were stopped by a traffic police officer whose goal was to get easy money, then most likely the driver’s requirement to comply with all procedures and his calm, confident behavior should moderate the ardor of the representative of the law.

On-site inspection

The driver can be checked on the spot or, if the inspector does not have the necessary technical equipment, at the nearest traffic police post.

1. The breathalyzer must be turned off. The disposable mouthpiece must be in individual packaging, which is opened in front of the driver and witnesses.

2. The first activation of the breathalyzer with a new installed mouthpiece is a test. Air is taken from the environment, and the device should show: “No alcohol detected.” If this does not happen and the message “Alcohol content N mg/l” appears, you need to turn off/on the breathalyzer again or ask to change the mouthpiece.

Paying attention to the little details described above can be very important. There are known cases when alcohol was injected into the mouthpiece or cotton wool soaked in alcohol was placed.

3. The driver must exhale into the mouthpiece before the sound signal.

4. The readings from the device must be shown to the driver and witnesses on the breathalyzer monitor and printed out in triplicate. Each of them is attached to the inspection report: one is given to the driver, the second is taken by the traffic police officer, and the third remains for the archive. It is very important to check all three to ensure that the test time matches the time shown by the device. The fact is that breathalyzer measurements are stored in the device’s memory for some time. And they can print out the result of the previous and, most likely, positive measurement.

5. Please fill out the inspection report carefully. If the device showed the absence of alcohol in the body, then in the column of the “Device readings” report the inscription “Zero, no alcohol detected” should appear. In the column “Result of the examination” - “The state of alcohol intoxication was not established.” The columns must be filled out in words so that it is not possible to add numbers greater than 16 to “0” (the permissible norm is 0.16 milligrams per liter of exhaled air). The driver must keep a completed copy of the protocol. If it is not there, then the possibility of the traffic police officers’ own vision of the situation, when “the driver fled the testing site,” cannot be ruled out.

6. The verification procedure can be repeated after 20 minutes, and the second result will be considered the main one. If this time is not met, then you can challenge the inspection in court. The second time, the entire procedure should be repeated from start to finish with a test air intake and a new mouthpiece.

Positive result

If, after completing the procedure, the message “Alcohol content N mg/l” appears on the screen, and the driver is sure that he is sober, it is necessary to request a medical examination. First of all, in the protocol drawn up after the on-site inspection, in paragraph d) you must indicate that you do not agree with the results of the examination and require a medical examination to determine the state of alcohol intoxication. Doctors have more accurate instruments that calculate the measurement error.

A protocol is drawn up regarding the referral for a medical examination, which is signed, among other things, by two witnesses. They must accompany the driver and inspector to the medical facility. Delivery to the medical facility is carried out by a traffic police officer, and if the examination shows the absence of alcohol, then the driver is returned to his car.

The driver must undergo a medical examination where the traffic police officer took him. A request to contact another institution may be interpreted as a refusal to undergo examination.

Some tips and tricks.

There is no need to immediately “blow into the tube” at the first request - ask to follow the procedure.

Do not refuse the procedure for undergoing a medical examination - this will automatically lead to a fine of 30,000 rubles and deprivation of rights for a period of 1.5–2 years (Article 12.26 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). The same result will happen if you sign a document refusing to undergo a medical examination.

The driver may refuse the on-site inspection and ask to be sent directly for a medical examination. The results of such an examination are always more accurate.

If the results of a medical examination are in doubt, you can undergo an examination in the next 5 hours at an independent institution that has the necessary licenses for this procedure. The more documents that indicate that the driver did not contain alcohol in his body, the greater the chances of proving that during the initial examination he was not intoxicated.

Recording the inspection process on a video recorder or recording a conversation on a voice recorder can become evidence in your favor.

If you understand that a traffic police officer is scamming you, remember his details and file a complaint by calling the helpline (495) 694-92-29 or through the traffic police website.

So, to check the driver for intoxication in compliance with all procedures, the traffic police officer must draw up several protocols and involve witnesses several times. This should stop the greedy inspector. It will be easier for him to stop the next driver, who, due to his illiteracy, may end up in a setup.

Traffic police officers stop a driver who is intoxicated

The rule: driving a vehicle while intoxicated in any way is prohibited; all drivers know it. Situations when a driver in a similar state is stopped on the road by a traffic police officer happen all the time. Moreover, this can happen to anyone due to some circumstances. If the driver is unlucky and the traffic police officer suspects a violation of such an important rule, there is no need to despair. There are several fairly simple rules of behavior.

Firstly, it is necessary to strictly observe the boundaries of reasonable behavior, which are even more slightly blurred in a state of any intoxication. Refusing to answer or obstructing an employee’s actions is the worst tactic. Refusal to undergo an examination is already becoming a gross violation of laws and regulations. In a situation where a drunk driver is stopped by an employee, the primary issue is a gross violation of traffic rules. And only secondary will be the question of the correctness of the actions of the traffic police.

So, you will have to undergo an examination, especially if the offender still hopes to retain his driver’s license. Refusal to undergo an examination is an automatic deprivation of rights. Moreover, the traffic police officer is not at all obliged to have compelling reasons to conduct such a test on the spot. When the test result shows an alcohol content of more than 0.16 ppm, you can try to take some actions.

Experienced drivers recommend being guided by the situation. If such dosimeter readings were the result of yesterday's holiday, it makes sense to try to insist on medical blood tests. This is the driver's right. During the considerable time it takes for a person to go to medical care. institution, the alcohol content may actually drop. This only works if the ppm did not appear from directly consuming alcohol before the trip.

Before undergoing the examination, you can try to refer to the amazing fact that your journey is over. This is not a win-win, just an opportunity. Convincing an employee that you have arrived at your destination right now is rarely possible. If this happens, leave the place by any means other than your own car.

Those drivers who have certain special diseases should also remember their rights. For example, diabetes mellitus and some types of gastritis provoke the appearance of substances in the body to which dosimeters always react positively. In this situation, you will need to provide a certificate of appropriate medical care. accounting for this disease. Such drivers may be asked to undergo additional examinations, that is, laboratory tests.

When a situation cannot be resolved, remember the correct course of action. The traffic police officer only confiscates the license and issues a so-called temporary certificate. It takes away rights, but does not deprive them. The car must be sent to a parking fine by the traffic police, and not by the driver himself. The owner will then pay for this very parking. The authorities have five days to make a reasoned decision on further actions. Then the trial takes place within thirty days. It is extremely undesirable for a driver to miss a meeting, because the final decision on the punishment is made there.
