Amount of fine for refusing to take a breathalyzer test
For the month of November, the fine for refusing to take a breathalyzer test if required by the road authorities has a cost of $568,500 to $1,603,200, It is without one of the most expensive infractions and this is because it is assumed that a person who refuses the test has something to hide and is probably driving under the influence of alcohol.
Refusal is considered an attempt to avoid an even more serious violation. Therefore, by refusing, the driver faces a high fine similar to or even higher than what would be applied if the test was positive.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the main causes of serious and fatal traffic accidents. Breathalyzer controls are essential tools to reduce this risk and ensure safety on the streets. Refusal to cooperate with these controls implies a lack of commitment to public safety and a potential danger to other drivers and pedestrians.
