Car permit · Alcohol and drugs
Under California law, what is the minimum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at which a driver under 21 is breaking the law?
Correct answer: 0.01 percent.
Answer options
- A0.01 percent Correct
- B0.08 percent
- C0.10 percent
Why
California has a zero-tolerance rule for drivers under 21, so any measurable alcohol, starting at a BAC of 0.01 percent, makes their driving illegal. The 0.08 percent limit is the one that applies to drivers 21 and older.
