Question 3787

What is the permitted alcohol level for the driver of a vehicle transporting hazardous materials?

  1. 0.10 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
  2. 0.3 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
  3. 0.15 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.15 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.

Anyone driving a vehicle carrying hazardous materials must not exceed 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air, equivalent to 0.3 g/l in blood, regardless of the vehicle's mass. In the image, the tanker has an orange panel and a flammable material label. The 0.3 mg/l figure confuses the blood level with the breath level.
