For a driver under 21, at what blood alcohol concentration (BAC) do zero-tolerance penalties begin?

Answer options

Why

Drivers under 21 are held to a zero-tolerance rule: a reading of 0.02% or more brings penalties such as license suspension, far below the 0.08% adult limit. Even a single drink can bring a young driver close to that level, so the only safe plan is not to drink before driving.
