The court dismissed the appeal regarding the refusal to submit to an alcohol test, finding the refusal punishable under the Road Code. The defendant argued that the penalty of driving prohibition should not apply as an accessory sanction in this specific context. The court ruled that while the refusal constitutes a crime, the specific accessory penalty of driving prohibition is not applicable to this particular offense.
