Question 4573
Novice drivers are subject to a lower blood alcohol limit...
- because they lack sufficient driving experience.
- solely because traffic regulations require it.
- because the effects of alcohol are smaller in them.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: because they lack sufficient driving experience.
The same amount of alcohol has a greater effect on someone with little experience because the movements involved in driving are not yet automatic for them, so they need more concentration. This is partly why novice drivers have a lower limit. There is a reason for the rule, and alcohol affects them more, not less.
