A driver, after being involved in a collision, refused to submit to an alcohol test, leading to criminal prosecution for refusing a check aimed at establishing the presence of alcohol, despite later producing a medical certificate. The court upheld the conviction, reasoning that the statute criminalizing the refusal of a sobriety test is an autonomous offense designed to ensure road safety and that the subsequent production of a medical certificate showing intoxication does not negate the initial act of refusal, which constitutes a complete offense in itself, irrespective of the actual degree of intoxication at the time of the test.
