On the eve of the New Year holidays and actively organized corporate parties, the road police began to pay more attention to drivers who can afford to drive after a glass of dry or a mug of foam. At the same time, they do not disdain even examining … the language of the driver! With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
If a request to show the driver straight palms so the traffic cop can check they aren’t shaking after a recent party is still OK, then demonstrating the language to the military seems very questionable, though funny. However, the reason is the same. The inspector of the traffic police expects to “caught” the driver in the use of intoxicants, or even worse – drugs.
For example, the appearance of teeth marks on the sides of the tongue often indicates that the human body has received an increased load on the liver. And this, as we know, is a common situation after using alcohol or drugs. In addition, the greenish-brown color of the tongue, which it acquires as a result of excess bile after severe intoxication, will also tell about the violation of the work of the same liver. It is these signs that attract attention – either a doctor or a traffic cop. In any case, he will clearly have an additional reason for further communication.
Another thing is that the driver is not at all obliged to follow the requests of the law enforcement officer. And especially since this is not a legal requirement of a police officer. But if the latter demands that he undergo a medical examination for possible drunkenness, then it is more expensive to argue. Refusal to undergo the procedure, we remember, is equated with the fact that a citizen is in a state of alcohol or drug intoxication. In other words, you will then walk on foot for up to 2 years, and moreover, without 30,000 rubles in your pocket.
You may not refuse to blow into the tube if required by law enforcement. True, the breathalyzer of traffic cops must be opened in front of you, and the device itself must have an inventory number. In addition: the driver must present the certificate of the device and the original of the certificate of verification. Of course, the procedure is legal only in the presence of two witnesses or under video recording.
However, if you have nothing to be afraid of, then you can calmly not only show your tongue to people in uniform, but also spit next to them on the road, proving with an abundance of saliva in your body that you have not taken any substances, including alcohol.
