Ertzaintza will increase alcohol and drug checks on the roads next week
A positive on an alcohol test is considered a very serious offence and involves a penalty of between €500 and €1,000 and a maximum of 6 points.
The Ertzaintza, in coordination with the local police, will increase alcohol and drug prevention controls from 15 to 21 December.
The Basque Government has recalled that if it refuses to pass the control, the person driving the vehicle may be charged with an alleged offence against road safety.
In the case of alcohol control, the driver may continue his or her career if he or she is less than 0.25 milligrams of alcohol (0.15 milligrams for professional drivers and less than 2 years old with a driving licence).
If more than 0.25 milligrams of alcohol (or 0.15 milligrams) appears in the air emitted and less than 0.60 milligrams of alcohol, the driver shall incur an administrative offence, whereas if more than 0.60 milligrams of alcohol appear, it shall be considered an offence against road safety.
In the event of a positive result in the test, it shall be regarded as a very serious administrative offence, with a fine of 500 euros and a reduction of 4 points on the driving licence if the result is equal to or less than 0.50 mg/l, and a fine of 1,000 euros and a reduction of 6 points if it is greater than 0.50 mg/l and less than 0.60 mg/l.
Inthe case of drug control, a saliva sample is used for the test. If the test results are positive, this positive should be confirmed in a subsequent laboratory analysis.
If the positive is confirmed, it is a very serious offence, which could result in a fine of EUR 1,000 and a withdrawal of 6 points.
