These measures will be taken from the results of the breathalyzer carried out by the agents of the General Directorate of Traffic Safety and Land Transport (Digesett) at the time of the inspection of the drivers.

However, in the case of drivers of public passenger transport vehicles, as well as taxi drivers, those carrying cargo or schoolchildren, or those with a learner permit, they must have a blood alcohol content of 0.0.

If the test is positive, the Digesett agent may keep the driver under surveillance for up to four hours, but he may leave if a family member or person who is responsible for taking him to his destination appears.
