This article – Refusing Inebriation Test in Israel – discusses the consequences of refusing a drunk driving test in Israel. In short — we advise full compliance with testing if you are suspected of inebriation; non-compliance often results in severe consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

All issues related to driving violations, including inebriation and driving, fall under the auspices of the <\/span>Ministry of Transport and Road Safety<\/span>.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Types of Inebriation Tests<\/b><\/h4>\n

There are a few different inebriation tests that police can use if they suspect you are drunk driving. These include a performance test (asking you to perform a series of cognitive operations), a breathalyzer, blood, or urine test. Most frequently, a breathalyzer test is used first, and then police often ask people to undergo a performance test.<\/span><\/p>\n

If police suspect that other drugs are in a driver\u2019s system, they may ask you to undergo a blood or urine test.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Refusing<\/p>\n

Refusing Inebriation Test in Israel<\/b><\/h4>\n

A police officer can not physically force a driver to take an inebriation test. However, refusing to be tested is considered a transport offense, and it comes with heavy consequences. There are rare cases where physical conditions, like respiratory illnesses, can make it difficult to take a breathalyzer test, but it is important to get a lawyer as soon as possible to help make this case for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the pandemic, many people turned to us to ask about refusing inebriation tests due to coronavirus concerns. However, a number of court cases demonstrate that this is not considered a valid excuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

We advise that you comply with requests to take inebriation tests and keep careful documentation of what the police asked you to do, as this can be helpful in arguing your case or reducing your punishment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequences for Refusing Inebriation Test in Israel<\/b><\/h4>\n

Refusal to take an inebriation test often results in harsh consequences. Israeli law presumes drunkenness if you are asked to take a test, and the burden of proof will be on the driver. The consequences can include imprisonment for one year or a fine of 10,000 NIS. It can also include confiscating one\u2019s driver\u2019s license for two years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
