It depends upon the terms of your probation or whether the police think drugs or alcohol played a factor in the traffic offense.

Ask the court or the probation department. Each court, each judge, each county, and each state have their own local rules.

Normally, no. For most traffic violations, you pay a fine and that is the end of it. If it is the type of case where you could be put on probation, the court could require drug/alcohol screening as a condition of probation.

If the officer has a belief that you might have taken drugs or alcohol then they will give you a field sobriety test.
