Understanding and practising road safety is everyone's concern — it could save your life, or someone else's. I admire the dedication of the Swiss government in making this a priority.

I have never understood the thinking behind a driver being able to refuse the test. If he isn't drunk, you would think he would jump at the chance to prove it.
