If the person concerned has broken traffic lights, the garda might suspect he or she is under the influence of alcohol. This can be contrasted with the discretionary on-the-spot breath test carried out by a member of the Garda Síochána on people randomly selected. If a garda considers a person cannot provide a breath specimen for medical reasons, the person concerned can be arrested and taken to give a blood or urine sample.
