An electric kick scooter (personal mobility device) rider, whom there is good reason to believe is drunk, refuses a police officer's alcohol test. What is the traffic penalty?
Riders of bicycles and personal mobility devices must also submit to a police officer's breath test when there are reasonable grounds to believe they are drunk (Article 44(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Note that drunk riding and refusing the test carry different traffic penalties, and that the amounts also differ between personal mobility devices and bicycles (Enforcement Decree, Appended Table 8).
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 44(2) of the Road Traffic Act, riders of bicycles and personal mobility devices must also submit to a police breath test when there is good reason to believe they are drunk. Under row 64-3 of Appended Table 8, a PM rider who refuses receives a traffic penalty of 130,000 won (100,000 won for a bicycle). 100,000 won is the traffic penalty for riding a PM while drunk.
