Question 4229

You have held the A license for two years and have just obtained the B license. What is the maximum permitted alcohol level when you drive a passenger car?

  1. 0.15 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
  2. 0.25 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
  3. 0.50 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.25 milligrams of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.

The two years with a lower limit are counted from your first driver's license, of any category. If you have held a category A license for two years, you have already completed that period, and getting a category B license does not make you a novice driver again. When driving a passenger car, your limit is the general one: 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air or 0.5 g/l in blood. A level of 0.50 mg/l is twice that limit.
